"Description
Seen through an arch, de Graaf discusses the dissection with two companions. In front of the dissecting table are the bodies of a variety of animals and a living dog. To the right of the window, surgical instruments hang on the wall. This is the title page to his 1671 work on pancreatic secretions. De Graaf is also known for his book on the sexual organs of the human female, De mulierum organis generationi inservientibus, published in Leiden 1672"]]> ]]> https://wellcomecollection.org/works/mmpvdpt8]]> 1 print : collotype ; image 28.2 x 20 cm

"In this title page to the Amsterdam 1666 edition of Johannes Vesling's Syntagma anatomicum, with commentary by Gerardus Blasius, Vesling is seated next to a table covered with a cloth, decorated with two crossed bones, which bears the title of the book. He is identified by his name which appears above his hat and by the cross of the Order of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. He is depicted wearing the same cross on a chain in his engraved portrait in the Padua 1647 edition of the Syntagma anatomicum, which is the second enlarged edition with added plates by G. Giorgio (see Garosi 1963, tav cxxxiii for Vesling's portrait and this catalogue no. 25026i for the title page to the 1647 edition). Vesling indicates to four gentlemen illustrations of the heart in a book displayed by a draped skeletal corpse. Only two details of these illustrations correspond with Vesling's plate on the heart (Tab. 1, Cap. X). Suspended from two pilasters is a swag made up of surgical instruments. Through an arch topped with two angels holding a cartouche with a skull crowned with laurel leaves one sees a view of buildings"]]> Lettering
