On the left side of the image is the illustrated woodcut of the first muscle plate from Andreas Vesalius's De corporis humani fabrica libri septem. It is a full-length frontal view of a flayed corpse with its head tilted back to the left displaying the muscles of the front of the body. On the right side are the words in green writing Historical Anatomies on the Web enter site.
