The Inland architect and news record
The Inland Architect and News Record is a Chicago trade periodical on architecture and building, published by the Inland Publishing Company in 1887 for architects and builders. Its pages mix trade advertisements with technical illustrations, and the first picture is a running header strip above a cropped photograph of interior fittings while the second shows a sectioned concrete light tile beside a manufacturer's advertisement. A designer might take from them the dense, type-heavy layout of late nineteenth-century trade advertising and the cut-away product drawings used to explain building materials.
