This woodcut of a skull from 1537 by John Dryander is one of the 1st anatomical illustrations of a skull based on early dissections. The skull is mounted to a sundial inscribed “Inevitable fatum” (death), and paired with a sands of time hourglass to remind the reader of mortality pic.twitter.com/CoBe7c31WO
