This book explores the role of the letterhead as a tool for communication and a medium for experimentation and typographic theory in the context of avant-garde art and design. The book includes works by Piet Zwart, Kurt Schwitters, El Lissitsky, Herbert Bayer, Laszlo Moholy-Nagy and many others. Works are from the collection of Elaine Lustig Cohen, now in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York.
