Scientific American, Vol. 50, No. 3 (1884)
Scientific American volume 50 number 3, a weekly American science and engineering periodical from 1884, carried mostly by advertisements for machinery, tools, and patent devices aimed at engineers, mechanics, and manufacturers. The pictures are small black-and-white wood-engraved advertisements and one diagram of an early electric telegraph, with dense typeset columns and bold display lettering that a designer could borrow for layout, label type, and trade-catalogue energy.
