Rivista di astronomia e scienze affini, 1908, a. 2, n. 01 (January)
This is a January 1908 issue of the Rivista di astronomia e scienze affini, the periodical of the Società astronomica italiana, produced at the Turin astronomical observatory for Italian-speaking astronomers and students. The pages mix geometric diagrams and mathematical formulas with small studio portraits of men and women and a photographic sequence of full moon phases labelled with the date 25 August 1907. For designers, the diagrams offer clean line-drawn schematics of ellipses, radii and vectors, while the plain grey portraits and moon strip suggest restrained early-twentieth-century scientific documentation.
