Green artwork of a mother having her child say a wartime version of the classic children's bedtime prayer (which had been first recorded in 1711, but which was given new wording appropriate to World War I).

Both use the same art and most of the same text, but the larger one measures 28" x 42", and does not have the "4% Compounded Quarterly" that is on the bottom of the smaller one that measures 14" x 22", and there are some other differences in the bottom text. Artist: H.H. Green Important Added Info: Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: fair to good. The poster was placed on to a very thin linen backing shortly after being printed. The purpose was to reinforce the poster, so that it would survive when it was put up on walls and taken down. Such posters can be professionally removed from the original linen and placed on to a proper linen backing. It has many creases and tears throughout, heavy fold and border wear and several edge defects. Please see our super-sized image to get a good sense of the condition of this item prior to placing a bid and please do not bid unless you can accept the defects described above, or you are willing to pay to have them properly restored.
