The forty-third of fifty-one plates first published in Steven Blankaart's De nieuw hervormde anatomie ofte ontleding des menschen lichaams, Amsterdam 1686, with a Latin edition the following year. The plates are made up of uncredited reduced copies of previously published illustrations, several to a page. In the notes to this plate in James Drake's Anthropologia nova (London 1707, 2 vols), where the Blankaart plates were published in an appendix to the first volume, the figures are described as after those of Bidloo. Each figure originally appeared as a folio illustration to Govard Bidloo's Anatomia corporis humani (Amsterdam 1685), plate nos 72-79. The numeration of the eight figures in the Blankaart plate reflect the order of the illustrations in the original, the engravings of which are after drawings by Gérard de Lairesse. For a discussion of the individual plates, see catalogue nos 28001; 28010; 28048; 28056; 28066; 28071; 28074; 28076
