Color print advertisement for the Dow Chemical Company depicting a Christmastime scene of a mother and child intended to evoke the bright promise of scientific advancement and ingenuity, i.e. "the chemistry of peace." Notably, the image is a reproduction of an original oil painting by artist, illustrator, and inventor Arthur Herschel Lidov (1917-1990), who created cover art and illustrations for many national publications, including Time, Fortune, and The Saturday Evening Post.
