A rare and wonderful Mather Work Incentive poster with a prominent travel theme. From 1923-1929, the Mather Company produced a series that owner Charles Mather deemed "Constructive Organization Posters." They have since come to be known as the Mather Work Incentive Posters. "Aimed at improving the work practices of employees in industry and commerce" in the boom times following the First World War, Mather combined striking graphics, direct messages and superb lithography to create "one of the most outstanding continuous series of graphically significant posters ever produced in America." (FAMLI).
