1952 Original Lithograph Mary Mintz Koffler Famous Infants Knitwear Art AEF3

This is an original 1952 lithograph by Mary Mintz Koffler for the Famous Infants Knitwear Corporation and the Rich Art Color Limited Edition Original Lithograph 97/2000.

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.

Period Paper has obtained an extraordinary, ultra-rare collection of original lithographs by some of the premier graphic 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 edition, and included just 2,000. These lithographs are perhaps the most unique, rare, important advertising collectibles that exist for businesses and corporations.
