The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, a periodical of medical reports and papers, published in the United States in 1827 for practising physicians and students of medicine. Its pictures are engraved anatomical and clinical plates: a close view of a surgical or pathological structure, a magnified tissue section of dense cellular detail, a labelled cranial cross-section with a brain-mapping grid, and polar charts of visual fields. For a designer they offer dense hatching, fine line stippling, and diagrammatic labelling in a restrained scientific style.
