An Original Vintage Folded World War II Poster (measures 22" x 28" [56 x 71 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 was folded at one time but has been laying flat for a long time and will be sent rolled in a tube.

Condition: good. The poster is very lightly rippled throughout. There are many pieces of brown paper tape on back (along all of the folds and parts of the edges - they were not put there for any restoration purpose but it is unclear as to why they are there) some of which slightly show through to the front. It is otherwise "all there" and after proper restoration the poster will display well, but bear in mind the poster's condition and the cost of restoration before bidding on it.
