XII – Anatomical Study of the Eye and Bones” – Copperplate Engraving (1645) - This original copperplate engraving from Lib. X, Tab. XII presents a detailed anatomical study of the human eye and various bones.

Each figure is labeled with precision in Latin, reflecting the early modern method of anatomical study and its increasing sophistication. This engraving is part of the posthumous publication of Giulio Cesare Casserius's works, completed and published in 1645 by Adrian van den Spieghel (Spigelius).
