The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, a Philadelphia periodical of 1827 aimed at physicians and medical students, printed its plates as small black-and-white woodcut and engraved figures. The four pictures show pathological specimens: branching, tree-like growths with knobbed and cauliflower-like surfaces, and one heavy lumpy mass with a broken fragment, drawn with fine hatched shading on pale paper, useful to designers wanting organic, bark-like or coral-like forms.
