draculasdaughter: “The first known anatomical flap prints were produced in Strasbourg, France, in 1538 by Heinrich Vogtherr. The German artist, printer, and poet pieced together multiple layers of pressed linen so that readers could open up his illustrations to reveal the positions of major organs ….”Anatomical fugitive sheet (female) with movable flaps which can be raised to show cut-outs of the viscera attached beneath.
