Scientific American, Vol. 72, No. 16 (1895)
Scientific American, volume 72, number 16, is a weekly American science and engineering periodical published in New York in 1895 for a general readership of inventors, engineers and businesspeople. Its pages mix engraved illustrations of new machines and gadgets with dense classified advertising set in tight columns of small type, and the pictures are plain pen-and-ink line drawings and halftone photographs. A designer could take from them the look of late nineteenth-century technical advertising, with ruled borders, clean hatched shading and labelled cutaway views.
