Scientific American, Vol. 92, No. 3 (1905)
This is a weekly American science and technology magazine issued in New York in 1905, aimed at engineers, inventors and general readers, and filled with trade advertisements. Its pages mix small classified and display ads for patent agents, correspondence schools, fire extinguishers and insurance with editorial photographs such as an excavation of a fossil skeleton. A designer could take its dense, boxed, typographically varied advertising layouts, with bold headline caps and ruled borders, as period models for sales graphics.
