1930’s Milk Please? WPA era American Advertising Vintage Poster
SOLD
This is a wonderful, quaint and naive pastural scene showing 4 children and a black and white spotted dog having a picnic in a field, while a cow stands approvingly nearby. The advertising line reads “MILK Please!” and it was produced by the Dairymen's League Cooperative Association at 11 West 42nd St. in New York.
The artist is Carroll Clifford Snell (born 1893), who became well known as an American art deco artist and book illustrator. It is signed Carroll Snell in mid right. We have 3 old original Dairymen’s League posters, all found together, numbers 533, 525 and 524.
Condition is A, freshly linen mounted. It is a great little historical agricultural farmer or farming piece, produced to enhance farm production. The Dairymen’s League started in 1907, by a group of dairy farmers in Orange County, New York. They united to increase milk bargaining power and formed one of the country`s first food cooperatives – The Dairymen’s League. By the 1920s, the Cooperative’s membership had grown to more than 100,000 farms. The poster is archivally linen backed and ready for framing. We only have this one.
