Scientific American, Vol. 83, No. 6 (1900)
Scientific American, volume 83, number 6, a weekly American science and engineering magazine published in New York in 1900 for a general technical readership of inventors, engineers and businessmen. Its pictures are black-and-white wood engravings and halftone photographs of machines, civil works and experiments, captioned in plain print, and a designer might take their dense hatching, clean diagram-like composition and period industrial subject matter as reference for vintage technical illustration.
