ART PUPLISHER& TO THEIR MAJESTIES THE KING & QUEEN.
FUMS UP! Such a quaint little figure of a cute
baby Mercury, the emblem of luck on his forehead
and a touch of ancient Rome in the upturned thumb,
handed down from the Gladiator Days (through a
United allied Italy) to the Londoner of to-day, in the
popular phrase-THUMBS UP
This lucky Symbol, expressive of the confidence
deep rooted in the hearts of Britain and her Allies
that Right will triumph over Might and that our just
cause will emerge crowned by a glorious Victory
leading to a lasting Peace, is brought home to you
by A MASCOT.
