The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences is a medical periodical published in the United States in 1827, aimed at physicians and medical students. Its plates here are anatomical drawings and engravings of the femur, the thigh bone, shown in sectional and surface views. Sentence two: the pictures are fine line-engraved diagrams with hatched and striated shading that show bone structure and fibre direction, useful to a designer wanting precise, schematic botanical-style linework or sepia scientific plates.
