The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences is a periodical of medical writing published in the United States in 1827, aimed at physicians and medical readers. The three plates are anatomical and clinical diagrams: a branching vascular drawing of vessels, a close-up engraved patch of reddish tissue with fine networked veins, and a line sketch of a leg on an inclined apparatus. For designers, the branching vessel forms and the red tissue texture suggest organic pattern and map-like networks rendered in ink.
