The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences is a Philadelphia-era medical periodical published in 1827 by Charles B. Slack and partners, written for physicians and medical readers. Its plates are numbered microscopic and anatomical drawings of tissue structures, showing cell arrangements, vessel networks and mineral-like crystalline deposits in plain engraved line work that a designer could borrow for organic patterns, lattice textures and scientific diagram motifs.
