The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences is a periodical of medical science published in the United States in 1827 for physicians and medical readers. Its four pictures are engraved anatomical drawings of bone, showing the base of a skull, a cervical vertebra seen from above, the back of a sacrum, and an upper jaw with teeth in side view. Designers can take from them the crisp hatched line shading and the way bone surfaces are built up with stipple and contour lines.
