The American journal of the medical sciences
The American Journal of the Medical Sciences is a periodical of medicine published in the United States in 1827, written by and for physicians and medical practitioners. Its pictures are mostly anatomical and scientific: a lower jaw with teeth, conjoined twins, microscopic cell plates, and a caduceus emblem with the motto Prosunt Omnibus. A designer might draw on their plain line-engraved style, with hatched shading and clean specimen-plate layouts.
