Scientific American, volume 48, number 14 from 1883, a weekly American trade and science magazine for engineers, inventors and mechanics, printed in New York. Its pages are dense with classified advertisements, product notices and patent listings for tools, machinery and hardware. The pictures are small, crowded advertisement blocks and engraved machine parts, offering a designer a useful reference for Victorian commercial typography, border rules and mechanical line drawings.
