Scientific American, Vol. 34, No. 19 (1876)
This is a weekly issue of Scientific American from 1876, published in New York for a general readership of American engineers, mechanics and inventors. Its pages carry technical engravings of steam engines, pumps and workshop machinery, drawn in fine black line with numbered figures and captions. A designer can take from them the clear cutaway conventions, dense hatching and mechanical detailing of late nineteenth-century industrial drawing.
