Scientific American, Vol. 82, No. 19 (1900)
This is a weekly American science and engineering periodical from 1900, Scientific American volume 82, issue 19, edited for a general readership of inventors, engineers and curious home readers in New York. Its pictures are black-and-white engravings of technical subjects: a steel frame building under construction, a telegraph apparatus with two operators, a wire-mesh window guard, and anatomical heart models. A designer might take from them the precise linework, dense hatching and diagrammatic clarity typical of late-nineteenth-century technical illustration.
