Exercitatio anatomica de motv cordis et sangvinis in animalibvs

Harvey, William, 1578-1657 · 1628 · Francofvrti : Sumptibus F. Fitzeri · 3 pictures

William Harvey's 1628 Latin treatise on the heart and blood circulation, printed in Frankfurt at Fitzer's expense for an audience of physicians and anatomists. Its pictures are copper-engraved anatomical plates of arms with tied-off veins and pointing hands, plus a title page with a robed figure in an oval cartouche; a designer might draw on the precise line hatching and the formal, diagrammatic clarity of early scientific print.
