Anatomia Collection: anatomical plates from 1522-1867

The Anatomia Collection comprises approx. 4500 full page plates and other significant illustrations of human anatomy selected from the Jason A. Hannah and Academy of Medicine collections in the history of medicine at the Thomas Fisher Rare Book Library, University of Toronto.

In addition to being able to search the collection by keyword, the site also offers a great highlights section, showcasing some of the more outstanding pieces, like this (somewhat disturbing) etching of a fetus in utero from 1774.
