The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences is a periodical of medical science published in the United States for physicians and medical students, with this record dated 1827 though the plates shown are from later medical practice. The pictures are plain line diagrams and one grey photograph of anatomical sections, labelled with letters, lobes and measurement scales. A designer could take from them the clean schematic style of medical line drawing, with its fine contour lines, hatched shading and small lettered call-outs.
