Scientific American, Vol. 82, No. 24 (1900)
This is a weekly American science and technology periodical from 1900, published by Munn & Co. in New York for engineers, inventors and general readers. Its pages mix small advertisements for engines, typewriters, ice machines and firearms with larger engraved illustrations of machines and devices. A designer could draw on the dense classified-ad typography, the stiff engraved line work of mechanical drawings, and the photographic plate of an antique pistol.
