An Original Vintage Linenbacked World War II Poster (measures 14" x 20" [36 x 51 cm]) (Learn More) Don't Kill Her Daddy With Careless Talk, the 1944 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster reminding Americans not to talk about U.S. war operations, and featuring Dorothy Hope Smith art of a sad young girl holding a framed picture of her soldier father. 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!
