The Inland printer
The Inland Printer is a trade periodical published in Chicago by the Inland Printer Company, first issued in 1883, for printers, bookbinders and the wider graphic arts trade in the United States. Its pictures include a printing press engraving framed in ornate borders, a page of advertisements for magazines and newspapers, interior views of a superintendent's office and counting room, and a boxed machine with a pressure gauge labelled Fig. 7. A designer could take from them the dense Victorian mix of decorative rules, type-heavy layouts and engraved machinery typical of trade print.
