Rivista di astronomia e scienze affini, 1908, a. 2, n. 07 (July)
An Italian astronomy periodical issued in 1908 by the Società astronomica italiana with the Turin observatory, aimed at amateur and professional astronomers. The four pictures are trade catalogue engravings of telescopes and instruments: a transit instrument on a heavy cast-iron stand, a large geodetic or observatory instrument, a long tube refractor on a pedestal with a mounted observer, and a Century telescope on a wooden tripod with its price table. Designers could draw on their stark mechanical drafting, dense hatching, and the formal, ornate type of early twentieth-century scientific catalogues.
