Scientific American, Vol. 62, No. 14 (1890)
Scientific American volume 62, number 14 from 1890 is a weekly American science and engineering journal printed in New York for a general readership of inventors, engineers and businesspeople. Its pages mix wood-engraved mechanical illustrations of devices with dense classified advertisements for typewriters, steam road rollers, rock drills, machinery and patent agencies. A designer could take from them the tight, hatched linework of nineteenth-century technical drawing and the crowded typographic density of trade advertising.
