An Original Vintage Folded World War II Poster (measures 28" x 36" [71 x 91 cm]) (Learn More) A Careless Word... ...A Needless Sinking, the 1942 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster encouraging citizens to safeguard sensitive war information, and featuring art of haggard survivors in a row boat watching their burning ship by Anton Otto Fischer. This poster certainly seems not only "heavy handed" to today's world, but outright "over the top", but of course America during World War II knew that the Nazis could potentially conquer the entire world and they wanted to make sure every citizen did all they could to keep that from happening, and posters like this certainly drove that message home! Artist: Anton Otto Fischer Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been trimmed and it now measures 28" x 36" [71 x 91 cm]. Also 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. Someone trimmed off the top blank border and a small portion of the other three borders (only blank white paper was affected, and it was likely done to fit a frame). There was separation at the ends of some foldlines and someone put some tape on the back of those areas. There is a 4" diagonal tear in the center of the bottom border that runs into the "EED" of "NEEDLESS". Note that some of the tape on the back is slightly "sticky", so that needs to be addressed.
