Template:Vitruvian Man Measurements

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This derivation of the Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci, depicts nine historical units of measurement: the Yard, the Span, the Cubit, the Flemish Ell, the English Ell, the French Ell, the Fathom, the Hand , and the Foot.  The Vitruvian man was drawn to scale, so the units depicted are displayed with their proper historical ratios.
