An Original Vintage Linenbacked World War II Poster (measures 20" x 28" [51 x 71 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 poster originally folded to a size of 7" x 10", and it had 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 the poster was partially open, you saw a 10" x 14" area of the back of the poster that had a message to the recipient overprinted on it. Because the poster is linenbacked, you can't see the printing on the back unless you hold the poster to a strong light as we did. Of course, this printing on the back absolutely guarantees that this is an authentic 1944 poster! What IS linenbacking? Learn More Overall Condition and Pre-Restoration Defects with Quality of Restoration: very good. The poster had minor wear on the folds. It had pinholes in the corners and small pieces of tape in each corner and in the center of each border. Overall, the poster was in good to very good condition prior to linenbacking. The poster was nicely backed, and displays well! Learn More about condition grades
