Adenographia is a 1656 London medical treatise by the physician Thomas Wharton, written for physicians and anatomy students, describing the glands of the whole body. Its single plate shows dissected glands in engraved detail, with fine hatching that suggests soft organic form and could inform a designer's study of anatomical line work and tonal shading.
