The portfolio consisted of advertisements for local New York City businesses where each advertisement was an original lithograph: "Each page was designed by the artist directly on the litho plate, thus making this a collection of original lithographs."This Original Lithograph was 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.About the Artist: Alexander Dobkin (1908 - 1975) was active/lived in New York.
