The American journal of the medical sciences
A medical journal from 1827, issued in Thorofare, New Jersey, for physicians and medical students, with its illustrations drawn as plain line engravings of patients and clinical cases. The pictures show a woman in a bonnet with a large swelling at the neck, a seated man with a large growth on his thigh or hip, two children with visibly unequal limbs, and a close view of an eye with a fleshy mass, all rendered in crisp hatching that a designer could borrow for anatomical or clinical diagrams.
