There is a monkey on one side of the picture and a dog on the other.

Above the picture on a shield are the three weasels, the arms of Vesal.

The reproduction which I show you here is from the "Epitome"-- a smaller work issued before ( ?) the "Fabrica," with rather larger plates, two of which represent nude human bodies and are not reproduced in the great work.
The freshest and most beautiful copy is the one on vellum which formerly belonged to Dr.Mead, now in the British Museum, and from it this picture was taken.

One of the most interesting features of the book are the full-page illustrations of the anatomy of the arteries, veins and nerves.

They had not in those days the art of making corrosion preparations, but they could in some way dissect to their finest ramifications the arteries, veins and nerves, which were then spread on boards and dried.
