Scientific American, Vol. 72, No. 4 (1895)
This is a weekly American science and engineering periodical, Scientific American volume 72 issue 4 from 1895, written for a general readership of inventors and engineers. Its pictures are black-and-white wood engravings of industrial and telephone equipment: rows of cable conductors, a cellar cable entrance, a distributing board, and workers at a punch and shears, with dense hatched shading and labelled figure captions a designer could borrow for vintage technical diagrams.
