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 Frasconi, Antonio. Artist signature in print - bottom right of image.

Antonio Frasconi

Antonio Frasconi (1919-?) was an artist hailing from Montevideo, Uruguay, prior to relocating to New York, where he received his formal art education at the Art Students League of New York, as well as at the New School for Social Research. He was most recognized for his book illustrations, printmaking, woodcuts and graphic art design. FrasconiÕs works primarily centered on American patriotism, animals, caricatures, figures, genre, portraits and historical subjects. His art has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Smithsonian Institute, the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and more.
