Schweizerische Bauzeitung is a Zürich engineering and building trade journal of 1883, published by H. Zürcher for the Swiss engineers' and architects' association and former ETH students. Its pages are dense advertisement strips for machinery, rope, telegraph cable, boilers and steam engines, set in black letter and bold sans capitals. A designer might take from them the period typographic hierarchy of stacked display headlines, ruled borders and small-print product lists typical of late nineteenth-century German-language trade advertising.
