Info found online:
The set of 4 lithographs depicting Saint Apollonia, the patron saint of dentistry, were distributed and commissioned by Astra Pharmaceuticals, possibly in the 1980's. The 20th century color lithographs are after original works dating from the 18th to the 16th centuries located in the Wessler Collection at the Royal School of Dentistry in Stockholm, Sweden. Astra was a purely Swedish company at the time before merging and becoming AstraZeneca.
