The Inland printer
The Inland Printer is a trade periodical published in Chicago by the Inland Printer Company from 1883, aimed at American printers, bookbinders and graphic arts workers. Its pictures show a female compositor at a type case beside a stripped-in press scene, a close view of a type-casting or composing machine, a powered platen press with flywheel, and a Lightning Jobber hand press in a catalogue-style engraving; a designer might take from them the period look of trade machinery drawn in clean, detailed black line and halftone.
