Scientific American, Vol. 80, No. 1 (1899)
Scientific American volume 80 issue 1 from 1899 is a weekly American science and technology periodical, published in New York for engineers, inventors and general readers. Its pages are dense with small advertisements for machinery, patents, cameras, chucks, drills and wall paper, set in tight columns of print with occasional line drawings. A designer could take from them the crowded classified-ad layout, the mix of bold display type and tiny justified text, and the period engraving of devices and products.
