A 1632 Frankfurt anatomy textbook by Adriaan van de Spiegel, edited by Daniel Bucretius, for physicians and medical students, printed in Latin with numbered anatomical plates. Its pictures show nude male figures posed in landscapes, with layers of skin, muscle and organs opened to view; a designer might borrow the engraved hatching, the classical contrapposto poses, and the framed plate layout with running headers.
