The Inland printer
The Inland Printer is a trade periodical published in Chicago by the Inland Printer Company in 1883 for printers, bookbinders and graphic arts workers in the United States. Its pictures include a handshake portrait captioned As They Parted, a studio portrait of a bearded man with a pipe captioned A Study, and catalogue engravings of paper cutters and a press. A designer might take from them the plain, workmanlike engraving style of trade catalogues and the strong dark tones of period portrait photography.
