Scientific American, Vol. 42, No. 1 (1880)
Scientific American volume 42 number 1 from 1880 is a weekly American magazine of technology and invention, published in New York for engineers, mechanics and general readers. Its pages carry wood-engraved drawings of machines, tools and household devices, and a designer can take their crisp line work, dense hatching and labelled, diagrammatic clarity as models for technical illustration.
