Scientific American, Vol. 72, No. 24 (1895)
Scientific American, volume 72, number 24, published in New York in 1895 as a weekly periodical for a general readership of engineers, inventors and tradesmen. Its pages are dense with small advertisements for engines, pumps, typewriters, lathes, telephones and roofing, with a few larger display notices. The scanned sample shows crowded column layouts, mixed typefaces and heavy woodcut engine illustrations that a designer could draw on for vintage industrial print styling and packed classified-ad grids.
