The Inland architect and news record
The Inland Architect and News Record was a Chicago trade periodical of 1887 published by the Inland Publishing Company for architects, builders, and building-supply firms. Its pages mix advertisements for elevators, hinges, copper weather vanes, steel shingles, tiles, and lighting fixtures with a photographed half-timbered house and engraved trade notices. A designer could take from them the dense, typographically varied advertising of the period, with bold display faces, ornamental borders, and small engraved vignettes of buildings and products.
