The reproduction of each page is preceded by a label divided into two parts: one indicating the sequence number under which the front or back of a sheet is published, the other being reserved for the classification of subjects unrelated to the Postures of Man original: "Attitudes de l'Homme"; Leonardo often mixed different subjects—such as geometry or hydraulics—on the same page as his anatomical drawings..
