Scientific American, Vol. 48, No. 7 (1883)
Scientific American volume 48, number 7, is a weekly illustrated periodical published in New York in 1883 for an American readership of engineers, inventors and tradesmen. Its pages carry trade advertisements for injectors, mill stones and steam engines alongside technical engravings. The pictures are precise line engravings of machinery, with clear labelled parts and crisp hatched shading that suit diagram-style graphic work.
