An Original Vintage Folded World War II Poster (measures 28 1/2" x 40" [72 x 102 cm]) (Learn More) Less Dangerous Than Careless Talk, the 1944 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster ("Don't discuss troop movements, ship sailings, war equipment") instructing the public not to talk about any military information that they may have, and featuring Albert Dorne art of a rattlesnake with blood dripping from its fangs and ready to strike. This poster might seem "heavy handed" to today's world, but America during World War II was very conscious of not accidentally giving information to the enemy! Artist: Albert Dorne Important Added Info: Note that this is one of a remarkable group of around 100 guaranteed authentic mostly war posters (around 75 war posters, plus 25 others, including political ones) mostly dating from before 1900 through 1945, with 15 from after that date! These were originally acquired by an archive decades ago, and they have been in storage ever since, until they were recently consigned to us. Many of these are the sorts of posters that you can find reproductions of on the Internet, but finding guaranteed originals like these is incredibly difficult (years can go by before these are offered for sale or at auction). This is a very rare opportunity to purchase any of these more than 100 posters! 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: very good to fine. The poster has very minor fold and border wear. Otherwise, the poster is in pretty nice condition, especially considering its age. Learn More about condition grades
