Seller's Description:
(SCHINDLER, R.M.). Schindler, R.M. R.M. SCHINDLER OFFICE LETTERHEAD + ENVELOPE. NP (Los Angeles). ND. : R.M. Schindler, Edition Not Stated. 4to. Printed Letterhead + Envelope. Architecture Monograph. Fine. One 8 ½ x 11" sheet + one 4 x 9 ½" envelope printed offset recto only, no illustrations. This is a beautifully preserved matching set of a single piece of letterhead and envelope for use by R.M. Schindler's architectural firm located at 835 Kings Road-better known as "The Schindler-Chase Kings Road House". Each features an elegant variant modernist design printed in pale brown ink on off-white Weston Opaque Bond paper stock that incorporates the renowned Los Angeles-by-way-of-Vienna innovator's iconic hand-lettering and horizontal lines. A crisp, most handsome unused set of these two extraordinary ephemeral objects (estimated to date from the forties according to the Schindler scholar from whom we obtained these in 1990) showing just a bit of age-appropriate patination and handling. Inventory Number: 027073.
