What it is
A two-colour lithograph Francisque Poulbot drew in 1915, 100 by 79 cm, from the Library of Congress.
Why it matters
The title means so that papa can come home on leave, please, and Poulbot put the request in a child's mouth to ask for the loan.
What to notice
The polite please at the end of the title, a child's manners turned on the reader.
A child's please, worth a loan.
