The screenshot is taken from Museum Victoria, Australia. They state that "This package contains Adobe Illustrator 1.0 user's manual, two 3.5 inch floppy disks (Disk 1, Program and Disk 2, Tutorial) and a video training tape ('Meet Adobe Illustrator'). The manual is for version 1.0; the Program disk is for version 1.1" Unfortunately, the download here consists of only the application. It is in a custom DiskCopy 4.2 image (i.e. it is not an image of the Program Disk) compressed with StuffIt 4. Although the application here has a creation date of 1987, it has a modification date of 2012. My reading of forum comments indicates that the original, pristine application asks for the master disk. The modified copy here makes no such request.
Illustrator helped the Macintosh cement its place as the computer of choice for the graphics industry by complementing the already unique painting and drawing tools MacPaint and MacDraw. This heralded the beginning of a movement away from drawing on paper to drawing on the computer (from the Museum Victoria summary)
