Les Oeuvres d'Ambroise Paré,... divisées en vingt huict livres avec les figures et portraicts, tant de l'anatomie que des instruments de chirurgie, et de plusieurs monstres, reveuës et augmentées par l'autheur. Quatriesme Edition.
Les Oeuvres d'Ambroise Paré is a 1585 Paris edition by the surgeon Ambroise Paré, published by Gabriel Buon, collecting his writings on surgery and anatomy for medical readers and practitioners. The woodcut pictures show surgical instruments such as arrowheads, forceps-like clamps, a leg-holding apparatus and a pair of boots, drawn in crisp outline with hatched shading and no background, so a designer could borrow their clean line work and precise, schematic detailing for diagrams or icons.
