Date Sold 8/8/2021Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Linenbacked Motivational Poster (measures 28" x 42" [71 x 107 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! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that we have never before auctioned this motivational poster! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster was never folded. It had two circular holes in the left and right of the top and bottom borders, which we have seen on other of these Mather & Company posters, which were put there so they could be better hung from hooks. It had some tiny stains and tiny tears in the right blank border. Overall, the poster was in very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well!
