The Inland printer
The Inland Printer is a trade periodical published in Chicago by the Inland Printer Company from 1883, aimed at American printers and bookbinders. Its pages here show machinery catalogue advertisements for printing and binding trades, with black-and-white engraved views of presses, cutters, and perforating machines. A designer could take from them the mechanical line drawings and sturdy cast-iron forms of early industrial equipment, useful for vintage technical graphics.
