The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences is a Philadelphia medical periodical from 1827, published for physicians and medical students in the early American republic. Its four pictures are diagrams of pendulum-like lines and cross-shaped strokes, a bone-like woodcut of a diseased growth, and a shield emblem with a winged staff and entwined serpents, which a designer might draw on for clean schematic line work, organic specimen forms, or heraldic badge design.
