Anatomia hepatis cui praemittuntur quidam ad rem anatomicam universae spectantia
A 1654 Latin anatomical treatise on the liver by physician Francis Glisson, printed in London for a medical readership. The plate shows a branching vascular system labelled with letters A through G, drawn in fine engraved line on a page numbered 293. Designers could take its dense, radiating tree-like branching structure as a source for organic network patterns and botanical-style linework.
