The Inland printer
The Inland Printer is a trade periodical published in Chicago by the Inland Printer Company in 1883 for printers, bookbinders and the graphic arts trade in the United States. The four pictures are advertisements and product illustrations rather than artwork: a multiple-punch machine, a vacuum bronzer, a press-room electric neutralizer comparison, and a lineup machine drawn in fine line with small captions. A designer could take their clean ink-and-halftone woodcut style, dense ruled type layouts, and the heavy slab-serif headline lettering typical of late nineteenth-century machinery advertising.
