The Inland architect and news record
The Inland Architect and News Record is a Chicago trade journal of 1887, published by the Inland Publishing Company for architects, builders and their clients. Its pages are engraved and lithographed perspectives and floor plans of commercial blocks, hotels, and institutional buildings, with the caption text printed beneath each drawing. For designers, the strongest use is the hand-ruled architectural rendering style: crisp line drawings with arched window bays, rows of repeated openings, and shaded street-level arcades.
