Google books is great for leafing through old and supremely weird tomes such as Juan Valverde de Amusco's 1559 Anatomia del corpo humano. This picture serves as the cover of Michael Sappol's Dream Anatomy, a history of renaissance anatomical art published by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

into a comfy t-shirt that is stylish enough for the workplace. After
extensive wear testing, the designs were engineered to mimic the
structures of plant cells
to improve structural integrity and maintain
the femininity of the designs.'
