Old Anatomy Texts
From the U.S. National Library of Medicine: Historical Anatomies on the Web.
Historical Anatomies on the Web is a digital project designed to give Internet users access to high quality images from important anatomical atlases in the Library's collection. The project offers selected images from NLM's atlas collection, not the entire books, with an emphasis on images and not texts.
This familiar image is from William Cheselden's Osteographia (1733).
