Rivista di astronomia e scienze affini, 1911, a. 5, n. 01 (January)
An 1911 Italian astronomy periodical, the January issue of the Rivista di astronomia e scienze affini, issued by the Società astronomica italiana and the Turin Astronomical Observatory for amateur and professional astronomers. Its pictures are small black-and-white catalogue-style engravings of scientific instruments, showing telescopes on stands, a heavy equatorial mount with handwheels, and a boxed clock or chronometer, drawn in plain line with grey tone. A designer could take from them the period look of precision brass and iron apparatus presented as clean, centred product views.
