1954 Original Lithograph Adolf Dehn Art Associated American Artist AEF4
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.

Adolf Dehn
Adolf Dehn (1895-1968) was born in Waterville, Minnesota, and was one of the most distinguished lithographers of the 20th century. Dehn studied at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design, and specialized in landscapes and caricatures, which quickly became popular for his high technical skills and spoofs on the upper class. As a lithographer, Dehn produced images depicting the burlesque dancers and culture of the Roaring Ô20s, and the Great Depression. His work often appeared in the New Yorker and in Vogue magazine.
