The Inland Printer was first published in Chicago, Illinois, in 1883.[1] Described as a trade journal,[2] it initially focused on graphic design and book design and later changed to emphasize printing.[3] An 1898 series by William E. Loy profiled 15 typographers.[4]
In 1894, encouraged by the graphic artist Will H. Bradley, whose illustrations appeared in the magazine,[5] Inland Printer began to change its cover with each issue—the first American magazine to do so.[6] Inland Printer also published J. C. Leyendecker's work.[6]
Inland Printer's editors were H. H. Hill (died 1916),[7] from 1883 to 1884; Andrew Carr Cameron (1836–1892),[8][9] from 1884 to 1892; Albert H. McQuilkin, from 1893 to 1917; Harry Hillman, from 1917 to 1928; and J. L. Frazier, from 1928 to about 1938.[1]
When Inland Printer bought The American Printer in November 1958, the combined magazine became The American Printer and Lithographer, among other variants.[6][10] In January 1982, the title became American Printer.[10] American Printer ceased publication in August 2011.[11] Its last reported circulation was roughly 47,000 subscribers.[11]
