Rivista di astronomia e scienze affini, 1910, a. 4, n. 11 (November)
An 1910 Italian astronomy journal issue, the Rivista di astronomia e scienze affini, issued by the Società astronomica italiana and the Turin observatory for amateur and professional astronomers. Its plates show large telescopes and their mounts photographed in observatory domes and rooms, several printed sideways on the page. A designer could take the heavy brass and iron instrument forms, the dome interiors and the strong contrast of the grey halftone photographs as sources for industrial or mechanical motifs.
