1954 Original Lithograph Chaim Gross Herbert Levine Shoes Footwear High AEF4
The prestigious footwear of Herbert Levine, Inc. was worn by many female celebrities. They were also displayed in museums around the world, endorsed by various first ladies, as well as carried in the high fashion stores of Neiman Marcus, Saks Fifth Avenue, Harrods of London and many more. The company shut down in 1975, but was revived in 2008 by Bernardo Footwear LLC.
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.
