Abstract:
Representative postage stamps reproduced here provide an idea of the scope available for introducing the history of human anatomy. Included are ancient Greek pioneers, the reformer of human anatomy (Vesalius), the discoverer of the circulation of the blood (Harvey), the compound microscope, and well-known names in histology, neurohistology, and topographical anatomy.
