Bollettino dell'Osservatorio della Regia Università di Torino, 1883 (vol. 18)
This is a volume of meteorological observations published in 1883 by the Astronomical Observatory of the Royal University of Turin, a scientific bulletin for researchers and weather-record keepers. Its pictures are printed data charts: ruled plots of barometric, thermometric, vapour tension and humidity lines across a month, alongside dense tables of pressure, temperature and hour readings. A designer might take the clean grid structure, the stacked wavy line graphs and the tabular typography as models for information layouts.
