Scientific American, Vol. 82, No. 8 (1900)
This 1900 issue of Scientific American is a weekly American science and engineering magazine written for a general technical readership. Its pictures include photographs of paper and rubber bale production, a steamer loaded with bales, and technical line drawings of an automatic boiler furnace feeding system. A designer might take from them the dense, mechanical look of early photo-halftones and precise engraved diagrams with numbered callouts.
