An Original Vintage Folded World War II Poster (measures 28 1/2" x 40" [72 x 102 cm]) (Learn More)

Careless Talk Got There First, the 1944 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster encouraging citizens to be aware of security risks, and featuring Herbert Morton Stoops art of a dead American paratrooper landing with more paratroopers in the background. Note that this was one of several "hard-hitting" posters with the same theme and same tagline, but with different images of soldiers killed by "loose lips". We have seen two different posters with this exact same title from 1944. This one has great art by Herbert Morton Stoops (and the other has art by Ray Prohaska).

Artist: Herbert Morton Stoops

Important Added Info: Note that this is one of two different posters with this exact same title that we have seen. Both are from 1944, but this one has great art by Herbert Morton Stoops (and the other, which is also from 1944, has art by Ray Prohaska). This poster is quite unusual in that it fully folds to a size of 7" x 10", and it has return address information printed on the back from the "Office of War Information", so that the poster could be mailed folded up all over the country! When you partially open the poster, you see a 10" x 14" area of the back of the poster that has a message to the recipient overprinted on it (see our image for the text). This printing on the back adds so much to this great poster!

Condition: very good. There are tape stains in the top corners. There is separation and tiny paper loss at some of the crossfolds and some separation at the ends of some foldlines. Other than the above, the poster is in pretty good condition!
