The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, a periodical of medical science published in the United States in 1827 for practising physicians and students. The plates are microscopic and tissue-level drawings of cells and tissue structure, printed as small engravings in the journal's text. Designers might draw on their dense, repeated cell patterns, the contrast between ringed nuclei and star-shaped cells, and the fine hatched linework used to show texture.
