Description
British recruitment poster depicting a scout asking his father whether he will fight in the First World War. A young boy scout is depicted in silhouette, confronting a silhouetted adult who is scratching his head. It is possible that this work is by Harry Oakley, the British silhouette artist, who produced several designs for British recruiting posters, also printed by Chorley & Pickersgill, during the First World War.
