The Inland architect and news record
The Inland Architect and News Record was a trade periodical published in Chicago by the Inland Publishing Company in 1887, aimed at architects and the building trades. Its pages mix trade advertisements for plumbing, heating and power equipment with photographic plates of urban residences and interiors, including a New York townhouse facade and a columned hotel lobby lit by rows of ceiling lamps. A designer might take from the plates their restrained tonal photography, the strong vertical rhythm of columns, and the period typography of the advertisements.
