Anatomia seu interiora rerum is a 1687 Latin treatise published at Leiden by Antoni van Leeuwenhoek, the Delft draper who used his own microscopes to examine plants, animals and fluids, and it was written for the Royal Society in London. Its engraved plates show magnified views of cells, seeds, fibres and microscopic organisms, drawn as lettered figures with careful hatching and stippling that a designer could draw on for scientific diagram styling and close-up pattern work.
