1953 Lithograph Ruth Guinzburg Art Martinson Coffee Enlightened Buddha AEFA1 XAS4 in the Galerie des GlacesThis is an ultra rare original 1953 monochrome lithograph by artist Ruth Guinzburg which makes the slightly outrageous claim the "The Enlightened One knows Martinson's is coffee fit for the gods." It was intended to promote Martinson's Coffee; most interestingly, the owner Joe Martinson is reputed to be one of the reasons why the phrase "a cup of joe" is often used in American colloquial language. In incredible piece of artwork for a New York City NYC
