Scientific American, Vol. 48, No. 22 (1883)
Scientific American, volume 48, number 22 of 1883, a weekly American periodical for engineers, inventors and general readers, printed in New York. Its pages mix technical engravings of machinery and ships with trade advertisements. The engraved machine, ship and vessel diagrams suggest mechanical and industrial linework a designer could borrow for technical illustration and vintage print layouts, while the small black-and-white advertisements show Victorian display lettering and boxed ad compositions.
