Two newborn children, by Bauhin (1605)

This illustration represents two newborn children. The description in Latin reads "Ossa et cartilagines embryonis proponuntur fig. 1. Embryonis quadraginta durorum dierum fig. II. Embryonis circiter trimestris, sceleton.”. The Latin description indicates that they are two embryos, one is forty-two days old (Fig. I.), and the second one is three months old (Fig. II.). Their gender is not defined, but they seem female and male respectively.
