The anatomy of the humane body : illustrated with twenty-three copper-plates of the most considerable parts, all done after the life
An 18th-century anatomy textbook by surgeon William Cheselden with plates engraved by Sutton Nicholls, published in London in 1713 for students and practitioners of medicine. Its copper-plate engravings show dissected organs and vessels drawn with dense parallel hatching, numbered keys and dotted leader lines, a restrained scientific precision a designer could borrow for technical diagrams.
