An Original Vintage Folded World War II Poster (measures 28 1/2" x 37 1/2" [72 x 95 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 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! 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. Condition: good. The was folded. It has completely separated on the right three-quarters of the middle horizontal fold and has a 5" slightly diagonal tear to the left of that. There is separation on parts of some other folds and tiny paper loss at the center crossfolds. There is a 4" tear in the right of the top and bottom borders, with some tiny tears and tiny paper loss in the other borders. After a relatively simple linenbacking, the poster will look fantastic!
