Scientific American, Vol. 72, No. 5 (1895)
Scientific American volume 72 number 5 from 1895 is a weekly American technology and engineering magazine for an general readership of inventors, mechanics and manufacturers. Its pages are mostly trade advertisements for telephones, typewriters, gearing and engines, plus an illustrated feature on metal ceiling production. A designer could take the dense mixed-typeface advertising layouts, bold black display panels and ornate Victorian border motifs as period reference.
