Scientific American, Vol. 82, No. 25 (1900)
Scientific American volume 82, number 25, published in New York in 1900 as a weekly periodical for a general readership of engineers, inventors and businesspeople. Its pages mix technical engravings of machinery, such as a longwall coal-cutting machine with a horizontal cutting wheel, with a dense band of small advertisements for typewriters, electrical courses and steel products. A designer could draw on the crisp line-engraved machinery views and the compact, mixed-type advertising layouts for period industrial styling.
