Descripción del artículo del vendedor

4to (295 x 230 mm). Original 4-flap portfolio of brown pictorial paper, containing three folders of bifolium sample illustrations, designs, and photographs, loose as issued (collated complete). Portfolio margins and folds with a little wear and creasing, contents in excellent state. "MAD MEN" ERA GRAPHIC DESIGN, BEING A PROMOTIONAL PORTFOLIO FOR A NOTED NYC ADVERTISING AND MARKETING AGENCY. THE PORTFOLIO IS ITSELF INGENIOUSLY DESIGNED, AND THE CONTENTS PRESENT A "STABLE" OF INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED ILLUSTRATORS, DESIGNERS AND PHOTOGRAPHERS INCLUDING RAY PROHASKA AND D. STONE MARTIN.

The folders are: Illustrators (blue folder with a circle: 13 samples); Photographers (green / square: 4 samples); and Designers (red / triangle: 6 samples). Each folder bears the names of the individuals whose work was contained therein.

On the back of the portfolio is a long list of the company's "Distinctions," including "Bests" at the 1957 International Poster Annual and the American Institute of Graphic Arts. Here the potential client is informed that "In the past 12 months we have designed and produced art for 2198 advertisers, 1561 mailing pieces and 932 point-of-sale units." On the upper cover is the statement that this "First in a series"; no other subsequent portfolio has been located by us, and not even this one is listed in WorldCat. …
