Scientific American, Vol. 30, No. 5 (1874)
Scientific American volume 30, number 5, published in New York in 1874, is a weekly periodical for American inventors, engineers and manufacturers, carrying engraved machine drawings, scientific apparatus and trade advertisements. The pictures are crisp black-and-white wood engravings with fine hatching and clear labelled figures, showing machines, furnace diagrams and a balance scale, with dense small-type advertising columns that a designer could use for period layout and typographic texture.
