Handbuch der systematischen Anatomie des Menschen
A German-language anatomy handbook by Jacob Henle, published in Braunschweig in 1855 by F. Vieweg, written as a systematic textbook for medical students and physicians. Its pictures are monochrome engraved plates with fine hatching and numbered labels on ligaments, bones and muscles, some with a tinted musculature in the last plate. A designer might take from them the precise, diagrammatic line work of nineteenth-century scientific illustration, with dense parallel shading and leader lines.
