Industries of Massachusetts : historical and descriptive review of Lynn, Lowell, Lawrence, Haverhill, Salem, Beverly, Peabody, Danvers, Gloucester, Newburyport and Amesbury, and their leading manufacturers and merchants
Industries of Massachusetts is an 1886 trade directory and historical review published in New York by the International Publishing Co., profiling manufacturers and merchants in eleven Massachusetts towns including Lynn, Lowell, Lawrence and Haverhill. Its pictures are small engraved views of business premises: multi-storey brick and stone storefronts, factory blocks and a shoe manufactory, with horse carriages and pedestrians along the street. A designer could draw on their dense, realistic architectural line work and period street scenes for Victorian commercial signage and layouts.
