The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, a periodical of medical science published in the United States in 1827, offered physicians and students case reports and scientific papers. Its plates are plain line engravings of anatomical and diagnostic subjects: a circular dial with radial scale markings, a forked tubular diagram with lettered parts, a cross-section of a cut oval object with concentric rings, and a dissected anatomical form with labelled sections, all drawn in restrained black linework on cream paper that a designer could borrow for clean scientific diagrams.
