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 pictures are engraved plates of medical apparatus and surgical cases: a curved spring-like instrument, a wounded back with a splint, crossed diagrams of arrow-like marks, and a man in a sling and brace. A designer could draw on the fine hatched line work and the clinical, diagrammatic precision of these early medical engravings.
