De Formato Foetu, 1626

At the time of Adriaan van de Spiegel's death, his son in law, another physician named Liberale Crema (fl. 1626) edited Spiegel's unillustrated anatomical text, De formato foetu liber singularis. To accompany it, he obtained nine copperplate engravings which Giulio Cesare Casseri had created either for a work on general anatomy or one specifically on fetal development.
