First issue of what was meant to be a temporary magazine...
Item # 697548
July 13, 1878
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN SUPPLEMENT, New York, January 1, 1876 This is the first issue published: the volume 1, number 1 issue. It was a totally separate, stand-alone publication from the more well-known Scientific American. Having begun to report on the Centennial Exposition in 1876, its success caused it to continue as a weekly publication into the 20th century.
This title is much like its more famous cousin but tends to have more mechanically-themed articles and illustrations. There are many prints in each issue.
Page 6 has the publisher's article introducing the new magazine: "With this issue we begin the publication of the Scientific American Supplement, to be continued weekly during the Centennial year of 1876, and perhaps permanently thereafter...".
Sixteen pages, great condition.
