Scientific American, Vol. 79, No. 26 (1898)
Scientific American, volume 79 number 26 from 1898, a weekly American science and engineering periodical aimed at general technical readers, with its pages carrying news photographs and engineering reports. The four pictures show a tall skyscraper seen from street level, a collapsed gas holder and its frame, and a New York City street being excavated for a trolley track, all in plain halftone photographs that a designer could use for industrial, urban or early twentieth century reference.
