This invitation card, created by an anonymous artist sometime between 1921 and 1924, is a prime example of graphic design. It advertises a reception following a religious ceremony, hosted by Madame Raphaël Himmelschein and Madame Jacques Slabotzky at Salle de Boeck in Antwerp, Belgium. The minimalist design focuses on the key information, and a simple, formal script typeface adds to the overall elegance. The Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam holds this invitation, which offers a glimpse into the social events of the early 20th century.
