The Inland printer
The Inland Printer is a trade periodical issued in Chicago by the Inland Printer Company from 1883, aimed at American printers, bookbinders and the graphic arts trade. Its pages in this set show advertisements and trade notices for printing supplies and type-founding equipment, with decorative borders, a diagram of a rectangle, and framed display type. A designer might take from them the period practice of boxed advertising, ornamental rule borders, and plain display lettering set in capitals.
