An Original Vintage Folded World War II Poster (measures 20" x 28 1/2" [51 x 72 cm]) (Learn More) Take Care! Idle Hands Work for Hitler, the 1942 U.S. World War II (WWII) poster ("Take care! Idle hands work for Hitler") promoting the safety of workers so that they may aid in the war effort and featuring a photo of a worker with a broken arm. The implication is that this worker was not careful at work, got injured, and now because he can't work, he is helping Hitler to defeat the U.S.! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a remarkable group of around 100 guaranteed authentic mostly war posters (around 75 war posters, plus 25 others, including political ones) mostly dating from before 1900 through 1945, with 15 from after that date! These were originally acquired by an archive decades ago, and they have been in storage ever since, until they were recently consigned to us. Many of these are the sorts of posters that you can find reproductions of on the Internet, but finding guaranteed originals like these is incredibly difficult (years can go by before these are offered for sale or at auction). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase any of these more than 100 posters! Note that this poster was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube. Condition: good to very good. The poster was folded and there is darkening on the folds. There are some small tears and tiny paper loss around the edges. Learn More about condition grades
