Scientific American, Vol. 62, No. 23 (1890)
Scientific American volume 62, issue 23 from 1890, a weekly American periodical of mechanical and scientific news for engineers, inventors and tradesmen, printed in New York. Its pages mix engraved mechanical diagrams, such as a hoisting and conveying device and an inclined track, with trade advertisements for steam engines, bicycles, plumbing packing and photographic equipment. A designer could draw on the dense, ruled typography and the crisp black-line engravings of machinery and advertising type.
