| Abstract: | The use of graphic illustrations in today's scientific journals has evolved from practices beginning in the seventeenth century,
modified by the demands of readers and the technology of creating and reproducing illustrative material. This article discusses
the reasons for using illustrations in scientific journals and reviews the historical development of their use. Photographs,
graphics and cartographic techniques, graphs, and standardized drawings and diagrams are analyzed. |
