The Inland architect and news record
This is a trade periodical, The Inland Architect and News Record, published in Chicago by the Inland Publishing Company around 1887 for architects and builders. Its pages mix plates of finished buildings with advertisements for electric lighting, power stations, paint and flooring. The first picture shows a stone-faced library with a turret and tall windows, photographed in the open under bare trees, while the rest are advertising pages with heavy condensed headlines, tight justified columns and bold display type a designer could borrow for layout.
