The Stethoscope and Virginia medical gazette

1851 · Richmond, Va. : Printed by Ritchies & Dunnavant · 4 pictures

A Richmond, Virginia medical periodical printed in 1851, aimed at physicians and medical readers, with pictures explaining anatomy and optics. The four pictures are diagrams and woodcuts: a labelled eye-and-optic-nerve diagram with crossing lines, a hatched X-shaped crossing figure, an engraved brain with optic chiasm and eyes, and a small nerve-and-vessel woodcut. A designer might take their fine parallel hatching and clean line-drawn schematic style for scientific diagrams.
