Scientific American, Vol. 79, No. 9 (1898)
This 1898 issue of the Scientific American is a weekly American magazine of science and engineering for a general technical readership, and its pages here show ship and machinery drawings alongside photographs. The line drawings of a dredger-type vessel in side elevation are precise and diagrammatic, useful to a designer for their clean hull outlines, cranes, and rigging, while the halftone deck photograph has a grainy, smoky tonal range suited to industrial texture.
