The Inland architect and news record
The Inland Architect and News Record was a Chicago trade periodical published by the Inland Publishing Company in 1887, written for architects, builders and building suppliers. Its pages mix trade advertisements for parquet flooring, water heaters, shingles and glass with a rotated photograph of a church and houses, and a pen drawing of a columned Southern-style house. A designer might draw on its dense, typographically varied 1880s advertising layouts, with heavy condensed capitals, ornamental borders and small-type copy.
