In 1963, Xerox Corporation ran an ad campaign titled "Which is the $2,800 Picasso? Which is the 5¢ Xerox 914 copy?" to promote their innovative Xerox 914 copy machines. The present work, the original drawing for this campaign, was given by Xerox Corporation to John W. Rutledge, as a retirement present in 1970.
