The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences is a 1827 medical periodical published in Thorofare, New Jersey, for physicians and surgeons, held by the Smithsonian Libraries. Its engravings are plain black-and-white line drawings of pathological specimens, such as diseased bone and a tissue mass, alongside surgical instruments, showing close, anatomically accurate detail that a designer could draw on for textured organic forms or clinical diagrams.
