The Inland printer
The Inland Printer is a trade periodical published in Chicago by the Inland Printer Company, aimed at American printers, bookbinders and graphic arts workers. Its pages in this set are trade advertisements for printing presses, a platen-style feeding and cutting machine, and steel work tables, drawn in plain engraved detail with part numbers and prices. A designer could take from them the crisp black-and-white machine drawings, the cast-iron weight of the equipment, and the spare layout of late nineteenth-century trade advertising.
