This captivating poster, created for Abbott Labs—a prominent medical supply company that supported U.S. military efforts during both World Wars—features a poignant scene depicting a mother with her young children, representing the family of a soldier overseas. The text at the bottom, "Published by Abbott Laboratories as a Contribution to the Treasury's Schools-At-War Program," underscores the patriotic call to action during that era. The message encourages the purchase of war bonds to help secure the nation and support troops on the front lines.

Artist Leon Kroll, born in 1884 in New York City, brings a rich artistic background to this piece. Educated at the Art Students League of New York and the Academie Julian in Paris, Kroll was a renowned painter and lithographer, celebrated for his figurative work. His impressive portfolio has earned him membership in the American Academy of Arts and Letters and the honor of Chevalier in the Legion of Honor. This poster is a unique blend of art and history, perfect for collectors and those looking to add a meaningful piece to their collection.
