1918 poster?

janadams

I'm researching this poster: http://www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/cph.3g10242/ and know very little of typography. Could any of you help me with identifying this font or point me in a direction as to where to look? I've been trying to figure this out for a while and have been browsing 1910-20s fonts but I'm afraid I'm utterly unqualified to be looking at this at all...
Thank you!!!

Unfortunately this is not a font at all - it's been hand-lettered by a (rather moderately) skilled lettering artist as was common with posters from that time. I'm looking to see if I can find anything similar to the main style that's actually been made into type, but it's probably unlikely.

Collins by Dave Farey has a similar feel.
