Fabrika, the fabric of the human body, was an anatomical apclus printed in 1543. Andreas Fusselius took a much more precise approach to dissecting and actually looking at what was there. He created really accurate prints with the aid of very good artists and engravers. The blocks themselves, he had them carved in Venice,. And then he had it published in Basel in Switzerland over the Alps.
