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 from 1827 for physicians and medical students. The pictures here are plates of anatomical and pathological subjects, including dissected heart chambers, a close-up of a joint or cavity, and a magnified mite, drawn in black ink line with fine hatching that shows form and texture clearly, which a designer might take as a model for scientific diagram linework and tonal shading.
