Drawn and colored from nature by , J. B. Léveillé, Paris

Hirschfeld (1816-76) had his hand drawings copied by Léveillé and chromolithographed. So the material really dates to the mid-1800s although this English translation version was copyrighted in 1891.

J. B. Léveillé, Paris was a famous anatomical artist in Paris in the mid 1800’s.
