He wants to know what you know. Keep it to yourself"; "Military Intelligence Division, War Department, Office of Naval Intelligence, Navy Department, Federal Bureau of Investigation, Department of Justice") encouraging people to avoid helping the enemy by carelessly talking about war information. This may seem "heavy-handed" by today's standards, but back then, it was strongly believed that the Axis countries had many spies living undercover in America, and that "loose lips" could "sink ships"! If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: good. The poster had darkening on the folds, with small paper loss scattered down the vertical fold, more so at the middle crossfold. Overall, the poster was in good condition prior to linenbacking. The restorer backed the poster "in the European style", meaning that they did not do restoration to the defects described above. Learn More about condition grades
