The anatomy of humane bodies epitomized :
Thomas Gibson's 1697 London anatomy text, printed for the Churchill booksellers, was an abridged compendium of human anatomy intended for students and practitioners of medicine. Its plates are dense engraved dissections of the abdominal viscera, arterial and nerve networks, and the brain at the base and in section, drawn in fine parallel hatching that a designer could borrow for scientific diagram textures or tonal line work.
