At the risk of violating the rules of this forum, I post this link to LETTERHEADY, a wonderful site devoted to vintage letterheads (pages & pages of 'em!).
(FLW's letterhead is included, so maybe the moderator will overlook this graphic design-related violation.)
The Howard Hughes letterhead...
The Howard Hughes letterhead is kind of haunting, starkly minimalist. Kind of creepy almost, in retrospect, or spruce goosey.
Thanks for posting this, w-h-c. They are really fun to look at. If anyone has the Saab/Vonnegut stationary, complete with a doodle and would like to send it to me ...
Frank Lloyd Wright's stationary is baffling and self-indulgent---
his choice of horizontal format must have required that the paper be folded before typed upon (or, he used one of those enormous tabloid-size typewriters!).
I love a lot of the florid, engraved late 19th/ early 20th century letter heads-- imagine the skill required! Another letterhead site, below,
