Auction History Result 4k0103 CARELESS TALK GOT THERE FIRST 29x40 WWII war poster 1944 art by dead paratrooper by Stoops! Date Sold 6/8/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. 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: This poster is quite interesting 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). We don't know if this printing would be on all examples of this poster, or only some of them. 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. Note that we were just consigned a wonderful collection of 59 war posters, most from World War II (which we are auctioning in 59 separate auctions)! Included in this collection are some posters we have never auctioned before, and some we have only auctioned once or twice before (sometimes only many years ago). This is a wonderful opportunity to obtain some or all of these historic posters, many of which have great images!). Condition: very good to fine. There is small separation at the bottom of the vertical folds. Otherwise, the poster is in really nice condition, especially considering its age. Learn More about condition grades
