Rivista di astronomia e scienze affini, 1911, a. 5, n. 05 (May)
This Italian astronomy periodical from 1911 was issued by the Società astronomica italiana with the Turin Astrophysical Observatory, for an audience of professional and amateur astronomers. Its pictures are scientific plates: a labelled compass-diagram of a crescent shape, an instrument on a pedestal, a light-curve trace with a marked interval, and grainy photographs of a comet-like glow with bright points. A designer might take from them the stark, diagrammatic clarity of early scientific print and the dark-field photographic texture.
