The American journal of the medical sciences
A plate-numbered medical journal from the American Journal of the Medical Sciences, issued in the 1820s for physicians and medical readers, with the record giving only a title, year, publisher and subject. The pictures are monochrome line drawings of microscopic crystals, cells and fibrous forms, each framed in a circle and labelled with figure numbers, offering a designer a set of precise, diagrammatic botanical-scientific textures and radial arrangements.
