The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences is a periodical of medical literature published in the United States in 1827, aimed at physicians and medical students. Its four pictures are wood-engraved diagrams of medical apparatus and anatomy, including a head harness, a mechanical brace with a pad and screw, a sagittal section of the throat and mouth, and a dissected organ on tubes. For designers, they offer clear, labelled technical line work with strong hatching that suggests Victorian scientific illustration.
