Little Kids
I saw this in a local second-hand shop and had to buy it for Jacob's room. Besides it's obvious kitsch-appeal it also captures perfectly that certain smugness, the patronising air that goes with being appealed to as one of the big kids.
Smugness and patronising airs are something Jacob can wear with style at the drop of a hat these days. The poster is from a series produced here in the 1950s and is an original. I found that a set was recently sold at auction here in Melbourne. Individually they fectched the same price each as I paid for this one retail so I got a pretty good deal.
