Description du cerveau, des principales distributions de ses dix paires de nerfs, & des organes des sens avec les figures
A 1681 French anatomy treatise by Vincent Denis Drouin, printed in Paris by Guillaume de Luyne, describing the brain, its ten pairs of nerves and the sense organs for a medical readership. The single plate shows a large engraved brain section in dense cross-hatching, with a smaller curved bone-like element below labelled Fig. 2, so a designer might borrow its fine parallel line shading and the stark, diagrammatic labelling of seventeenth-century scientific plates.
