Scientific American, Vol. 72, No. 8 (1895)
A weekly American science and invention magazine from 1895, published in New York for engineers, inventors and general readers of technical news. Its pictures are black-and-white wood engravings of devices, including a rotating disc colour mixer, an advertising tricycle, a steam lubricator and small trade advertisements. Designers can take from them the crisp hatched shading and clean line diagrams typical of 19th-century technical print.
