Early Myology or The Muscles Human Anatomy Bookplate Engraving on Laid vintage nesting boxes but I like the FlavourI haven't found an exact match for this one out there so am not sure what volume it came from, but clearly it is quite an old engraving, late 18th early 19th c.

I especially love the face on our man at right. It appears this was cut down
