Original American poster from the Mather Work Incentive Series designed by Willard Frederic Elmes. The image features a young circus performer balancing in a handstand on the back of a white horse, illustrating the importance of precision, preparation, and confidence.

Willard Frederic Elmes (1900–1956) was an American illustrator and poster artist trained at the Art Institute of Chicago, where he also taught. He later operated a studio in Chicago producing commercial illustration and advertising work, including projects for the Sears Roebuck catalog.
