Skeletons from 'Anatomia Corporum Humanorum' by William Cowper, 1739. The major source of this work was the Dutch anotomist Goverd Bidloo and his landmark work titled: 'Anatomia Humani Corporis' (1685). What started as an English translation of Bidloo's work first published in 1698 ended in a court fought battle over plagiatism by Cowper. Cowper did not even mention Bidloo in his work. The famous plates in this work (by Gerard de Lairesse) are identical to the ones from Bidloo's work and actually even bought from Bidloo and The Brockhaus Encyclopedia, and the Dictionaire Universal D’Historie Naturelle, 1849.

Véro - Tatto Artist

Véronique Imbeault is a very accomplished tattoo artist who is studying anatomy. I learned about her because she downloaded a copy of The Art Student's Guide to the Bones and Muscles of the Human Body. The images are two of her tattoos which are a lot of fun because of her use of a complete range of color, and of her life drawings.
