Set of 10 VTG Religious Lithographs 1958 National Press NOS Midcentury Prints For Sale

Salesman Presentation Archive – Mid‑Century Devotional Art**

Offered here is a curated set of ten original 1958 National Press religious lithographs, removed directly from a historically intact mid‑century advertising salesman presentation kit. These prints were originally used by calendar and advertising representatives to pitch devotional artwork to churches, funeral homes, charity organizations, and faith‑based institutions seeking premium calendar imagery.

Each lithograph is preserved in New Old Stock (NOS) condition—clean, bright, and untouched since the late 1950s. Colors remain vivid, edges crisp, and paper stock retains the smooth, high‑quality finish characteristic of National Press’s mid‑century production standards.
