The Inland printer
The Inland Printer is a trade periodical published in Chicago by the Inland Printer Company in 1883, written for printers, bookbinders and the graphic arts trade in the United States. Its pictures are mostly plain line engravings of machinery and trade advertising, including a hand-operated paper-ruling machine, a printing press and a stylised pointing hand; a designer might take from them the clean, technical line work and the practical lettering of nineteenth-century trade advertisements.
