This detailed woodcut print, titled "Contained in a mans Body." and marked "LIB. G." and page 241, depicts a full human skeleton in a dynamic pose, holding a beaker or vessel. The skeleton is meticulously rendered with anatomical precision, and the print includes extensive English text below, providing detailed explanations and labels for various bones and anatomical structures. This illustration is a 17th-century adaptation from Andreas Vesalius's seminal work, "De humani corporis fabrica" (On the Fabric of the Human Body), reflecting the anatomical knowledge and artistic conventions of the period.

Andreas Vesalius (1514–1564) was a groundbreaking Flemish anatomist and physician, whose work revolutionized the study of human anatomy. His "De humani corporis fabrica," first published in 1543, challenged traditional anatomical teaching through direct observation and meticulous dissection, accompanied by highly influential and detailed woodcut illustrations. Vesalius's empirical approach profoundly impacted medical science and anatomical illustration for centuries.
