Scientific American, Vol. 94, No. 16 (1906)
Scientific American volume 94, number 16, from 1906, a weekly American magazine of science, invention and industry aimed at engineers, manufacturers and general readers. Its pages mix trade advertisements for motion picture machines, roofing, motor engines and water supply with articles and photographs, such as a 1906 cofferdam construction scene showing timber piles and excavation. A designer could take its dense multi-column layouts, bold display headlines and mechanical engravings as period models for industrial advertising.
