SAVILE LUMLEY (1876-1960) DADDY, WHAT DID YOU DO IN THE GREAT WAR? 1915. 29x19 1/4 inches, 73 1/2x49 cm. Johnson, Riddle & Co., Ltd., London. Condition A: vertical and horizontal folds. Matted and framed. Comfortably seated in an overstuffed chair, his daughter reading on his lap and his son playing at his feet, a man is contemplating the difficult question that his children might one day pose. A novel, almost insidious, appeal to encourage men to enlist by playing off their fears of having to explain to their children why they didn't fight during the war. A man, after all, is expected to fight. A point poignantly added via the young boy playing with toy soldiers.
