Scientific American, Vol. 83, No. 26 (1900)
Scientific American, volume 83, number 26, is a weekly American science and engineering magazine published in New York in December 1900 for a general readership of inventors, engineers and businessmen. Its pages mix engraved machinery views, a giant tree-trunk photograph and dense advertising columns for watches, cigars, furnaces and lamps. A designer could take from them the crisp, hatched line work of turn-of-the-century technical engraving, and the layout of small advertisements set in boxed columns beside a central block of text.
