Anatomical Alphabet from William Cowper's "Myotomia Reformata," 1724; By Paul Dijstelberge of the Special Collections Amsterdam

Paul Dijstelberge of the Special Collections Amsterdam has created a fantastic (if not quite complete) anatomical alphabet from initial caps drawn which pepper William Cowper's 1724 book Myotomia Reformata: or an Anatomical Treatise on the Muscles of the Human Body.

You can see the whole collection on the blog "A Beautiful Book"by clicking here. You can find more about this book in a recent guest post by Morbid Anatomy for the New York Academy of Medicine.
