Abstract
Originally published in Heel-konstige aanmerkkingen betreffende de gebreeken der vrouwen. Amsterdam, weduwe van Theunis Jacobsz, 1663. These images were taken while preparing a book (Wombs with a View, Springer, 2016) on the history of the illustrations and how they contributed to our understanding of anatomy and physiology of pregnancy, thereby enabling advances in the practice of obstetrics and gynecology.
