Scientific American, Vol. 73, No. 9 (1895)
Scientific American volume 73, number 9, published in New York in 1895, is a weekly illustrated magazine of science, engineering and invention aimed at a general technical readership. Its pages mix engraved mechanical diagrams, charts of engineering works, and dense advertisements for drills, bicycles, boilers and watchmaking schools. A designer could take its crisp line-engraved diagrams and its bold, typographically varied advertising blocks as models for clear technical layout and period commercial lettering.
