Andreae Vesalii,... de Humani corporis fabrica libri septem...
Andreas Vesalius's 1555 Basel edition of his anatomical treatise De humani corporis fabrica, printed by Johannes Oporinus for medical students and physicians learning human anatomy. The pictures are woodcut anatomical figures with lettered reference keys, showing the body's musculature, skeleton and brain in clear, unshaded detail, offering a designer strong examples of dense, systematic line engraving and labelled diagrams.
