The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences is a 1827 American medical periodical published in Thorofare, New Jersey, for physicians and medical students. Its plates are engraved medical and anatomical figures: a cupped bone-like form with pitted sockets, a cross-section diagram with lettered lines, and a portrait of a man with a swollen eyelid and cheek. A designer could take from them the tidy line-hatching of 19th-century scientific engraving, with dense parallel strokes used to model curved solid forms.
