The Inland printer
The Inland Printer is a trade periodical published in Chicago by the Inland Printer Company in 1883, written for printers, bookbinders and the graphic arts trade in the United States. The pictures are decorative section headers, each an ornate classical panel with a central label such as PROOFROOM, PRESSROOM, BOOK REVIEW or SPECIMENS over a bordered band of egg-and-dart and scroll ornament with corner rosettes. A designer could take from them a model for symmetrical, letterspaced headings framed by carved classical borders.
