Scientific American, Vol. 74, No. 2 (1896)
Scientific American volume 74, number 2 from 1896 is a weekly American periodical for engineers, inventors and general technical readers, published in New York. Its pages mix engraved photographs and drawings of machines, such as a bicycle after a collision, a horizontal engine and a boiler furnace, with trade advertisements for bicycles, watches and engines. A designer could draw on its plain, documentary machine drawings for mechanical subjects and its dense period advertising typography.
