Scientific American, Vol. 47, No. 12 (1882)
Scientific American, volume 47, number 12, published in New York in 1882 as a weekly periodical for a general readership of inventors, engineers and mechanics. The pictures here are magazine pages: an engraved steam engine, a dense page of classified advertisements for machinery and tools, and a mechanical diagram of a positive clutch with numbered parts. Their crisp black linework and tight typographic blocks suggest layouts for technical catalogues, trade labels, or engraved schematic diagrams.
