Branding: Country Prints Letterhead, c.1957

Description

Country Prints letterhead, invoice sheet and envelope. In a departure, rather than silkscreen printed in-house, this set is letterpress printed on lightly textured tan laid paper. This likely reflects the rise in production volume at Country Prints, leaving less time to silkscreen print the company stationery. In this design revision “robert darr wert” is added above “Country Prints”; the company phone number is added; the rooster is taller with single color spots and overlapping tail feathers; the tree is taller, with three clusters of leaves and two of fruit; the scrolled linework angles downward rather than upward; and the lower margins are framed with text describing the Country Prints business.
