May 18, 1872
SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN, New York, May 18, 1872 Typical of this title the pages contain an interesting variety of news items on the latest inventions & improvements of the period, including a wealth of illustrations, not the least of which is a front page article & print of the: "Steam Flying Ship".
But the most intriguing aspect of this issue is that it contains a "Supplement". This is the only Supplement issue of this title we have encountered and we have had many runs of Scientific American.
The focus of the Supplement is the oil industry, with the full ftpg. being a print of a: "Bird's Eye View of Pratt's Astral Oil Works, Brooklyn". Inside the 8 page Supplement is a great wealth of text and 19 prints of the various aspects of processing and distributing oil & oil by-products.
Complete in 16 pages, very nice condition.
