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, aimed at physicians and medical readers. Its pictures are old wood-engraved plates of anatomical and pathological specimens, drawn with fine parallel hatching on a cream page; a designer might borrow their precise, diagrammatic line work and the labelled-figure layout, with lettered callouts and leader lines.
