Reproduction note

The forty-second 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. They were first published in Govard Bidloo's Anatomia humani corporis (Amsterdam 1685) as eight separate folio plates, nos 64-71. For individual descriptions of these plates, see catalogue nos 27752; 27954; 27966; 27973; 27984; 27987; 27989; 27995
