The Inland printer
The Inland Printer is a trade periodical published in Chicago by the Inland Printer Company from 1883, written for printers, bookbinders and graphic arts workers in the United States. Its pictures are mostly trade illustrations of equipment: a decorated initial letter with ornate border, a small benchtop machine on a pedestal, a multi-cylinder press, and a geared hand-operated press with a cropped advertising caption. A designer can draw on them for period machinery forms, ornamental initial design and the plain line-engraved look of late nineteenth-century trade catalogues.
