SAVILE LUMLEY (DATES UNKNOWN) DADDY, WHAT DID YOU DO IN THE GREAT WAR? 30 1/8x20 inches, 77x51 cm. Johnson, Riddle & Co., Ltd., London. Condition B+: discoloration and restoration along sharp vertical and horizontal folds. Comfortably seated in an over-stuffed chair, his daughter reading on his lap and his son playing at his feet, a man is contemplating a difficult question that these very 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. Darracott frontispiece, Rickards 46, Weill 212, Power 96.
