Steph. Blancardi Anatomia reformata, sive, Concinna corporis humani : dissectio, ad neotericorum mentem adornata, plurimisque tabulis chalcographicis illustrata : accedit ejusdem authoris be balsamatione, nova methodus, à nemine antehac hoc modo descripta
Steven Blankaart's 1687 anatomy, published in Amsterdam by Joannes ten Hoorn, is a Latin treatise on human dissection with an appended method of embalming, written for physicians and medical students. Its copperplate tables are dense, labelled diagrams of organs such as kidneys, the uterus, and the brain, cut open and drawn with fine hatching and lettered keys that a designer could use for scientific line work and vintage specimen layouts.
