Scientific American, Vol. 80, No. 22 (1899)
This is a periodical issue of Scientific American from 1899, an American science and technology weekly aimed at general readers and engineers. Its pages carry line drawings and photographs of Italian battleships, with profile and plan views of the Re Umberto, Sicilia, Sardegna, Duilio and Dandolo showing hull, deck and gun layouts. A designer might take from them the clean technical line work of ship elevations and plans, with their dimension callouts and small captions.
