Description
South Australian recruiting poster, based upon a British recruitment poster. It depicts a young boy scout in silhouette, confronting an 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.
