Scientific American, Vol. 78, No. 6 (1898)
A weekly American science and engineering periodical from 1898, published in New York for a general readership of inventors, engineers and tradesmen. Its pages pair wood-engraved and photographic illustrations with technical text on machinery, firearms and construction works. The pictures show mechanical drawings, a cutaway magazine pistol, and photographs of masonry and drainage works, which a designer could draw on for industrial line drawings, cutaway diagrams and grainy documentary photography.
