A Linenbacked Motivational Poster (measures 36 1/4" x 44" [92 x 112 cm]) (Learn More) Mather and Company was a printer located in Chicago, Illinois which is best-known for producing Mather Motivational workplace posters in the 1920s. They were inspired by the U.S. government's poster campaign during World War I (WWI), and the 1920s desire for enhancing efficiency in the workplace. At some point in the early to mid 1920s, Charles Mather, the owner of Mather and Company, started producing these "motivational" posters, which encouraged discipline, loyalty, honesty, productivity and featured great artwork by a number of different artists hired by Mather. Unfortunately, the Stock Market Crash in 1929 caused businesses to greatly economize, and Mather stopped producing the motivational posters and they tried to stay in business by also making non-motivational posters, but they could not survive. But the ones that they did create often contained wonderful art and messages! Artist: Willard Frederic Elmes Important Added Info: Note that this poster ships in a very long tube (at least 33" long, but possibly 50" long or more). Therefore the shipping for this poster will be more than that for a poster that ships in a tube 32" or shorter, and possibly much more. Please bear this added shipping expense in mind before bidding on this poster. You can tell how long of a tube this poster needs to ship in by looking at the shorter dimension of its length and width and then adding 4" to that (so a 47" x 63" poster will need to ship in a 51" long tube).
