The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, a periodical of medical science published in the United States from 1827 onward, aimed at physicians and medical readers. The pictures are a chart of meteorological readings and several anatomical and instrument drawings from medical articles, with the clearest sheets showing a graph of weather and respiratory cases, a pelvic section labelled rectum and bladder, and a mechanical lever device. Designers may take the plain engraved line work, dense hatching and labelled diagrams as models for technical and scientific illustration.
