OUT IN FRONT. 1929

Two orange and pink speedboats are racing through green and waters leaving sprays of wake behnd them; lettering in yellow and white. From 1923-1929, the Mather Company produced a series of posters which 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, bold graphics, direct messages and superb lithography to create "one of the most outstanding continuous series of graphically significant posters ever produced in America." (FAMLI). For other Mather Work Incentive Posters see lots 173 and 183.
