Martini Lister Exercitatio anatomica : in qua de cochleis, maximè terrestribus & limacibus, agitur : omnium dissectiones tabulis aeneis, ad ipsas res affabrè incisis, illustrantur : dissecanda sunt, non solùm humana cadavera; sed & aves, pisces, quadrupedia, insecta, amphibia, &c. ut singularum partium innotesceret officium: cùm aut quaedam in aliquibus deficiant, aut quid analogum reperiatur, aut saltem notanda occurrat aliqua diversitas, quae saepè maximam lucem afferat Adrianus Auzoutius
Martin Lister's 1694 anatomical treatise on snails and slugs, published in London by Samuel Smith and Benjamin Walford, with its dissections illustrated on engraved plates for natural philosophers and anatomists. The plates show dissected snail organs drawn as branching tubes, coiled ducts and sac-like forms, with lettered figures and fine hatched shading that a designer could take as an example of precise scientific line work.
