This poster was designed by Henry Furniss for Her Majesty’s Stationery Office to encourage British mothers to feed their infants appropriately. Furniss, a well-known cartoonist and illustrator, who worked for Punch and The Illustrated London News, and later also illustrated editions of the works of Charles Dickens (1910) and William Thackery (1911), produced several posters in H.M.S.O.’s series advising on the feeding of infants. Both designs are based on wood engravings of the kind that would have been used to reproduce Furniss’s illustrations in these journals and in the books.
