Scientific American, Vol. 48, No. 17 (1883)
Scientific American, volume 48, number 17 from 1883, a weekly American periodical for engineers, inventors and manufacturers, printed in New York and crowded with trade advertisements for pumps, boilers, bicycles, and drills alongside technical diagrams. The pictures are small, dense line engravings of machinery and printed ads, with clean vertical elevations and sectional drawings of water filters that a designer could borrow for schematic, mechanical, or industrial-style graphics.
