Vintage Koenig Artist Supplies, Inc. professional art-supply catalog dating to approximately 1986–1987.

This is a substantial period reference catalog from Koenig Artist Supplies of Milford, Connecticut, featuring hundreds of pages of art, drafting, illustration, lettering, framing, and commercial-design supplies.

The catalog includes period products from makers such as Strathmore, Bainbridge, Letraset/LetrasMax, Mars, Schaeffer, Artograph and many others. Interior sections cover illustration board, technical pens, calligraphy supplies, projectors, drafting equipment, presentation materials, brushes, paints, framing supplies and related professional art tools.

A company-history page traces Koenig from its beginnings in 1933 through its expansion into a 75,000-square-foot Milford headquarters in 1986, helping firmly place this catalog in the mid-1980s.

A great reference piece for collectors of:

Vintage graphic design

Commercial art and illustration

Drafting and technical drawing

Typography and lettering

Art-supply ephemera

1980s design history

Vintage Strathmore, Bainbridge, Letraset and Mars products

Condition:

Vintage used condition with expected age-related cover, edge and handling wear. Interior pages appear well preserved overall from the examples shown. Please review all photographs carefully for exact condition and completeness.

This is a much more substantial and visually interesting piece than an ordinary store flyer or brochure and would make an excellent research/reference catalog for a designer, illustrator, collector or design-history archive.

Thanks for looking.
