SLIDE SHOW: Famous writers’ stationary
by Nick Davies
For those of us interested in the evolution of the written word (and who also enjoy rifling through celebrities’ personal effects), Retronaut has posted a series of letterheads from famous people & companies ranging from 1900-1997.
You can see a few selections here. The question is—did Harry Houdini write The Right Way to Do Wrong on this stationery?
Sigmund Freud – 1900
Harry Houdini – 1912
Charlie Chaplin – 1916
Noel Coward – 1950
Charles Schultz – 1958
Spike Milligan – 1981
Marvel Comics – 1982
Princess Diana – 1997
