A handsome 21"x38" poster by Otis Lithograph depicts a tough, Irish-looking plainclothesman, wearing a derby hat and with his NYPD badge on his shirtfront, glowering at a young woman and asking her the question, "Haven't we your picture at headquarters?" Lithographed in five or six colors in warm pastel grays and browns predominating. Near fine, professionally presented with acid-free archival mats, background protection to the picture, and beautifully matted and framed. [ADC/6/98/ODSSS].
