Scientific American, Vol. 34, No. 21 (1876)
Scientific American was a weekly American periodical for inventors, engineers and mechanics, published in New York in 1876, with this volume reporting new machinery, patents and exhibition buildings for a trade readership. The pictures here are black-and-white wood-engraved views of large exhibition halls and pavilions with flags and crowds, beside dense small-type advertisements for engines, tools and friction clutches, useful for designers wanting Victorian commercial typography and architectural engraving.
