The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences is a periodical of medical writing published in 1827, with its imprint given as Thorofare, New Jersey, for a readership of physicians and medical students. Its three plates show human anatomy: two engraved views of vertebrae and a pair of sketched female portraits rotated on the page. A designer might take from them the fine cross-hatched engraving of bone forms and the aged, toned paper of early nineteenth-century print.
