A 1669 Paris anatomy treatise by Claude Perrault, printed by Frédéric Léonard, describing the dissected bodies of a chameleon, beaver, dromedary, bear and gazelle for a scholarly audience. The plates pair dissection diagrams and skeletal studies with a lifelike chameleon on a branch, all in fine engraved line, giving a designer clean diagrammatic linework and precise shading to borrow for scientific or natural-history motifs.
