AWARD FOR CARELESS TALK AWARD FOR CARELESS TALK war poster OR search current auctions Auction History Result 9k078 AWARD FOR CARELESS TALK 29x37 WWII war poster '44 Dohanos art, it results in Nazi medals! Date Sold 8/25/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Folded World War II Poster (measures 28 1/2" x 37 1/4" [72 x 95 cm]) (Learn More) Award for Careless Talk, the 1944 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster ("Don't discuss troop movements - ship sailings - war equipment") encouraging citizens to safeguard sensitive war information, and featuring Stevan Dohanos art of a Nazi hand wearing a swastika ring and holding an Iron Cross medal. Obviously, the point was that a person carelessly discussing war information was in essence a collaborator with Nazi Germany just as much as a Nazi soldier was, and that "loose lips" could result in Germans winning the highest awards, which is certainly "heavy handed", but it REALLY gets the point across! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: Steven Dohanos 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. Note that this is one of 78 very rare posters (including 53 WWI and WWII posters and 18 stage play posters) that mostly date from 1888 to 1945. 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 78 posters (which even includes a remarkable 1873 P.T. Barnum poster from his "Traveling World's Fair")! Note that in June of 2016, we auctioned around 100 posters that were from this same archive. The 78 posters we are currently auctioning represent most of the remaining posters from this remarkable find (we certainly wish there were lots more, but unfortunately there are not, so this is likely your last opportunity to acquire these great rarities!). Condition: good to very good. There are some small areas of paper loss in the borders, but only one affects the red background. There was 8" of separation in the top of the center vertical fold and someone put tape on the back of that area. After a relatively simple linenbacking, the poster will look fantastic!
