The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences is a periodical of medical scholarship published in the United States in 1827, written by physicians for a professional readership of practitioners and researchers. Its pictures are engraved anatomical and microscopic studies: a tissue section with cell outlines, elongated cells drawn in isolation, and a stylised case of a bodily structure seen from an angle. A designer might take from them the precise, hand-ruled linework and the diagrammatic labelling typical of early medical plates.
