The nervous system of the human body. Engraving by J. Wandelaar, 1726, after a woodcut, 1543.

In this 1725 edition of Vesalius's works, H. Boerhaave collaborated with his former pupil at Leiden, B. S. Albinus. The woodcut illustrations originally published by Vesalius were engraved on copper plates by Jan Wandelaar. It marks the beginning of a long association of Albinus with Wandelaar, lasting until the artist and engraver's death in 1759. Albinus employed Wandelaar for his own illustrated works, the Tabulae sceleti et musculorum corporis humani (Leiden 1747) being the best known, and for his edition of the anatomical plates of B. Eustachius (Leiden 1744), which had been produced in the sixteenth century but were only first fully published in Rome in 1714 by G. M. Lancisi. Albinus also brought out editions of the works of Harvey (1736) and Fabricius ab Acquapendente (1737)
