Scientific American, Vol. 80, No. 25 (1899)
Scientific American, volume 80, number 25, is a weekly American science and technology periodical from 1899, published in New York for engineers, inventors and mechanically minded general readers. Its pages are dense with trade advertisements for engines, machine tools, bicycles and boats, with occasional engraved machinery illustrations. A designer can take from them the period's plain commercial typography, boxed ad layouts, and detailed black-and-white machine drawings with clear line work.
