Three-dimensional color diagram of human chest and abdomen consisting of hinged, paper flap overlays. A form of anatomical illustration in use as early as 1538, the overlays progressively fold back to reveal the interior and major components of the chest and abdomen, including the heart, stomach, colon, and lungs, as well as various arteries and muscles. This diagram appears opposite page 210 in a chapter on diseases of the digestive system in The Book of Health (1898).
