The Anatomia website: from the University of Toronto Libraries

8. University of Toronto Libraries: Anatomia
http://link.library.utoronto.ca/anatomia/application/index.cfm

Developed by the University of Toronto Libraries, the Anatomia website
offers a collection of about 4,500 plates and images of human anatomy from
the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library ranging in date from 1522 to 1867.
Visitors can search the plates by entire plate description, artist, subject
words, and/or plate title or can browse the plates by artist, title, or
subject. By selecting the Anatomia highlights link, users can view images of
importance due to their contributions to the advancement of knowledge,
educational value, or artistic value. Students can discover the three
processes of creating illustrations during the sixteenth to the nineteenth
centuries: relief, intaglio, and planographic. The website supplies a
concise history of the study of anatomy. [RME]
