A weekly American science and invention magazine from 1890, published in New York by Munn & Co. for inventors, engineers and general readers interested in mechanical progress. Its pages mix small advertisements for tools, steam engines, lanterns and patent services with a large illustrated view of an Armstrong 80-ton gun mounted on a turntable. The advertisements show dense typography and engraved product drawings a designer could use for period layout and label styling.
