Scientific American, Vol. 83, No. 14 (1900)
Scientific American volume 83, number 14 from 1900, a weekly American science and technology magazine for engineers, inventors and general readers, printed in New York. Its pages are dense with small advertisements for machinery, typewriters and pulleys, plus a photograph of an early racing automobile. A designer might take the crowded, mixed-type advertising layouts, with bold display headings and ruled boxes, as models for dense commercial typography.
