No post on anatomical drawings is complete without a few Nettergrams: here, here, and here.

Holy crap, those Netter things are awesome. Reminds me of this recent book by the author of this classic.

Man those Japanese prints were amazing. I can't seem to find it but wasn't there a post about those here some time ago?

Wow. Amazing visuals. Just my cup of science, art, history and learning. Thank you so much for this.
