Annals of the Astrophysical Observatory of the Smithsonian Institution
This is a scientific annual of the Smithsonian Institution's Astrophysical Observatory, published in Washington by the Government Printing Office in 1900, reporting solar radiation measurements and infrared spectra for a research readership. The pictures are plain line graphs on squared or ruled grids, with wavy traces plotted against years and percentage values, so a designer might borrow their graph-paper texture and sparse hand-drawn line rhythms.
