Scientific American, Vol. 80, No. 3 (1899)
Scientific American, volume 80, number 3, is a weekly American science and technology periodical printed in New York in 1899 for a general readership of engineers, inventors and tradesmen. Its pages mix photographs of laboratory apparatus, trade advertisements for cameras, watches and steam boilers, and engineering line drawings. A designer might take from them the dense, mixed-type advertising layouts of the period and the plain, diagrammatic style of the steamboat and apparatus engravings.
