1953 Lithograph Robert Steed Art Pattullo-Jo Copeland Nude Fashion 198 7th AEFA1
Pattullo Modes had been around for a while before Jo Copeland began selling them sketches of their designs. After working there for a few years, Copeland started her own business, but soon ended up back at Pattullo. It was not long before she was made a partner, and the company officially debuted as Pattullo-Jo Copeland. Her designs were not only extremely popular, but also high-priced due to the time and quality put into each piece. Unfortunately, Copeland had to shut the company down in 1972.

This is a limited edition original lithograph, #1498 out of 2,000. Only the portfolio was numbered, not the individual lithograph's within it. This is not a lithograph "after" the artist. This lithograph was created by the original artist on the lithograph plate, and is, therefore, a true original lithograph. The artists used either litho crayon, ink, or tusche when creating their art works on the plates.
Period Paper has obtained an extraordinary, ultra-rare collection of original lithographs by some of the premier artists of the 1950's. These lithographs were produced for an annual art event in the 1950's for local businesses and major corporations largely based in New York. Historically important for corporate archivists, these are extremely rare to locate and are virtually unseen individually. The original lithographs were produced in only one limited edition, and included just 2,000. These lithographs are perhaps the most unique, rare, important advertising collectibles that exist for businesses and corporations.
This piece was illustrated by Steed, Robert. Artist signature in print - bottom left of image.
