Oh, you lucky people, we managed to uncover another anatomical frontispiece for you! This one comes from Raymond Vieussens’s Novum Vasorum, a work dedicated to the anatomy of the cardiovascular system. Like so many other early modern anatomical frontispieces, it takes place in what is clearly an anatomical theatre, with the anatomist performing the dissection with his own hands before a crowd of onlookers. We’re also rather taken with the inscription. That handwriting is quite impressive! -- source link
