Schweizerische Bauzeitung
Schweizerische Bauzeitung is a Swiss engineering and architecture periodical published in Zürich in 1883 by the Schweizerischer Ingenieur- und Architekten-Verein and the ETH Zürich alumni society, aimed at engineers, builders and architects. Its pictures are plain black-and-white trade illustrations: a page of advertisements for cranes, reservoirs and sluices, a steam pump and flywheel unit shown as a product photograph, a workshop floor full of timber and machinery, and a geared machine drawn in engraved line. A designer could draw on their clean, functional industrial vocabulary and dense technical layouts.
