The Inland architect and news record
The Inland Architect and News Record is a Chicago trade periodical on architecture and building, published in 1887 by the Inland Publishing Company for architects, builders and the building trade. Its pages pair photographs of European town views and buildings with measured architectural drawings, plans and elevations, and a few advertisements for building products. A designer might take from them the layouts of plates framed as grouped photographs and line-drawn floor plans, with terse captions set under each image, as a model for architectural portfolio or trade-catalogue pages.
