This is an original 1953 monochrome lithograph by New York based Italian artist Remo Bramanti which was used to promote several New York business, and has a slightly sideshow feel. Siamese twins are drumming for Favor Ruhl and Company (43 West 23rd St) and Empire Artists (135 East 60th St). A topless ethnic beauty holds a parcel on her head for the Berkeley Express and Moving Company (526 West Broadway), and a turban-wearing mustachioed man has Rufina Costumes (157 West 22nd St) on the clock draped across his body.

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 Bramanti, Remo. Artist signature in print - bottom right of image.
