Simplicity. A magician. And a wonderful thread of comments. 

In the words of Brian Collins: 

“If you were the world’s most famous magician in the early 20th century, what would you ask a graphic designer to create for your own brand? Would it be something dramatic with an Art Deco flair that reflected the fashion of the day? Or would you do something as minimal and elegant as this beautiful letterhead design? Before the web, before email, before tweets, stationary carried your story. And this one is the most elegant brand solutions I’ve ever seen. From 1920.”
