An Unfolded Motivational Poster (measures 28" x 41 1/2" [71 x 105 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: Robert Beebe Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this poster, which uses a metaphor to baseball, which was already "America's pastime" in 1923! We were consigned this poster and two others, and we are auctioning each individually. Condition: very good. The poster has punch holes in the upper and lower edges to assist with hanging. It has a few minor edge defects including small pencil writing at lower left in the blank border only, and there is a small tear at lower right that has been repaired with tape from the back, but overall it is in pretty nice condition.
