The American journal of the medical sciences
A medical journal of the American Journal of the Medical Sciences, published in 1827 by Charles B. Slack and others, offering case studies and anatomical plates for physicians and medical students. The four pictures are engraved line drawings of a human hand seen from the back, with shaded areas marking diseased or grafted skin, plus a magnified cross-section of skin tissue with lettered labels; a designer could take from them the clean outline style, stippled shading, and the use of letter callouts on technical figures.
