Posters - Lee, Henry, Junior. Strut your Stuff! Color lithographed poster on paper. Signed in the plate, typographically inscribed in the print lower right and numbered in the lower left margin. Mather & Company, Chicago, 1929, sheet dimensions: 111.5 x 92 cm. Motivational poster number 23 by Mather & Company, sole distributor for Great Britain and the Irish Free State. - Mather & Co.'s work ethic posters became very popular in the 1920s, especially in the USA and other English-speaking countries: employers who wanted to improve the efficiency of their company and also divert employees' attention away from the trade unions could take out a subscription to the posters from Mather & Co. They used catchy slogans, puns and metaphors as well as striking designs by well-known American artists. Sales, and therefore the campaign, came to an abrupt end after the New York stock market crash and the subsequent global economic crisis. - Sheet somewhat browned and rolled, the corners and edges rubbed, partly with marginal tears, lower left corner with losses, corners partly creased.
