Le corps de l'homme is an 1844 Paris anatomy and physiology treatise by Dr Jules Galet, with plates lithographed by Lemercier and a summary of Lavater and Gall's systems, aimed at students and artists. Its hand-coloured plates show the muscles, veins and arteries of the legs, head, pelvis and whole body in precise, labelled detail, useful to designers seeking clinical, scientific-looking anatomy imagery with a 19th-century engraved character.
