Stuning Collection of The Vintage Architectural Stationery Vignettes

I came across an incredible collection from Columbia University’s Robert Biggert Collection that showcases vintage business stationery with stunning architectural illustrations.

These pieces—from the late 19th and early 20th centuries—feature detailed depictions of factories, hotels, and storefronts, all crafted with such pride. It’s amazing how something as simple as a letterhead or invoice could reflect so much artistry and identity. Flipping through them feels like stepping into the visual history of American industry.
