SAVILE LUMLEY (1876-1960) DADDY, WHAT DID YOU DO IN THE GREAT WAR? 1915. 29 3/4x19 3/4 inches, 75 1/2x50 1/4 cm. Johnson, Riddle & Co., Ltd., London. Condition B+: creases and abrasions along vertical and horizontal folds; tears and flaking in margins. Comfortably seated in his armchair, his daughter reading on his lap and son playing at his feet, a man contemplates 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 made via the young boy playing with toy soldiers.
