The Inland printer
The Inland Printer was a trade periodical issued in Chicago by the Inland Printer Company from 1883, aimed at American printers, bookbinders and the graphic arts trade. The pictures are plain black-and-white engravings of machinery: a group portrait of members of the Press Club of Chicago arranged in a ring, a platen-style press, a cutting or stitching machine on a cast-iron frame, and a sewing or stitching machine with a catalogue layout beside it. A designer could draw on their dense, hard-edged line work and the period catalogue-advertising typography.
