Scientific American, Vol. 82, No. 26 (1900)
Scientific American, volume 82, number 26, a weekly American science and technology magazine printed in 1900 for engineers, inventors and general readers. Its pages mix engineering diagrams, machine photographs and dense advertising, and the pictures here show an early motor carriage with a rear-mounted engine, a radiator valve drawing, and small trade advertisements for vehicles, cigars and watches. A designer might take the spare black-and-white line work, the boxed advertisement layouts and the period typefaces of the 1900 advertising pages as reference for vintage print design.
