From De humani corporis fabrica libri septem (1543) by Andreas Vesalius.


For everyone who loves old books (and old books about bones, at that) as much as I do, check out this website, which contains William Cheselden's Osteographia. Andreas Vesalius' De corporis humani fabrica libri septem is up there too, as well as a slew of other old anatomical works.
