The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences was a Philadelphia-published periodical of 1827 aimed at physicians and medical students, carrying case reports and professional essays. These four pictures are anatomical engravings of an open mouth viewed from the front, each marking a different structure such as the uvula, tongue or a lesion. A designer might take the clean outline drawing style, with hatched shading and dotted guide lines, as a model for scientific diagrams.
