Jan l'Admiral · 1741 · Leidae Batavorum : Apud C. Haak, prostat quoque Amstelaedami, Apud J. Graal, et H. de Leth, 1741. · 2 pictures

A short Latin anatomical monograph printed at Leiden in 1741, in which Jan l'Admiral used his own colour-printed mezzotint process to record a wax-injected human penis for anatomists and fellow printmakers. The plates pair a dark, dissected specimen rendered in printed reds and greys with a line vignette of a skeleton and a winged putto facing a radiant sun over preparation jars, offering blood-vessel networks, dense engraved ray bursts, and dissection pins with lettered keys.
