Scientific American, Vol. 92, No. 19 (1905)
Scientific American, volume 92, number 19 from 1905, a weekly American science and engineering magazine for a general technical readership. The pages are dense advertising sections with classified notices for machinery, scales, engines, typewriters, rubber stamps and publications, so the pictures show trade product engravings in crowded black-and-white layouts. A designer might take from them the tight typographic density of early twentieth-century trade advertising, with heavy display headlines, ruled boxes and small engraved machine drawings.
