SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, NY, 1846 The photo shows the very ornate masthead of this famous journal that provided the latest scientific news and essays, related information, patents, and other subjects. During its first year of publication it was a folio-size newspaper with each issue featuring a front page engraving of "New Inventions, Scientific Principles, and Curiosities". Occasional foxing, otherwise good. A desirable item and nice for display.
