Excellent 400+ year old engraved plates from Johann Theodor de Bry's 1620 publication of "Vivae imagines partium corporis humani aeneis formis expressae & ex Theatro anitomico." This work was authored by Caspar Bauhin and published by de Bry in Frankfurt, Germany, and this leaf is original to the first edition of that publication.

This from the Authenticator:
"Copperplate leaf from Vivæimaginespartiumcorporishumaniaeneisformisexpressae&exTheatroanitomico,printed and published byJohann Theodor de Bry, Frankfurt, presumably the 1620 edition.
Here illustrating the nervous system, from tip of the spine to the toes, it depicts the latest state of medical knowledge – some four hundredyears ago.
The complete book from which this comes is rare (and costly) on the market, and scarce in institutional holdings, the worldwide census inthe lowest dozens.
Single plates, such as this, appear to be elusive on the market, with no offers located at this
time."
The photographs were taken while the leaf was within a protective sleeve, hence the ripples and reflections you may notice. The leaf has been stored in a climate controlled safe and this morning was the first time it has been removed and/or viewed in the last 12 years.It comes with a Certificate of Authenticity.
I will ship within the CONUS only at buyer's expense, and only to the confirmed PayPal address. Given the unique nature of this item, returns are not accepted and the sale is final.

It may be months or even years later, though, that a child first shows fear about going to see a doctor. The worry of an injection or some other unfamiliar medical procedure can trigger that fear. It can also appear because another family member may be feeling medical anxieties.
