The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, a periodical of 1827 issued from Thorofare, New Jersey, and other American places, aimed at physicians and medical readers. Its plates include a page of engraved algae and microscopic organisms, a schematic diagram of a circular form with arrows, a Franklin and Marshall College bookplate with a standing Minerva figure, and a shield bearing a caduceus with the motto 'Quae Prosunt Omnibus'. For a designer, the botanical sketches show fine pen-line specimen drawing, while the caduceus shield and Minerva plate offer compact emblematic motifs.
