Original vintage Second World War poster
‘Warning, be on your guard’
Lithograph
38 x 25 cm
‘Warning, be on your guard. Thousands of lives were lost in the last war because valuable information was given away to the enemy through careless talk.’
In the Second World War, enemy espionage, spy networks and secret operations seemed a real and ever-present danger. As a result, this Second World War poster was produced as part of a propaganda drive warning against careless talk that could lead to damaging information leaks. The poster itself is paired back, featuring black text on a white background with a red crown above, in the style of the ‘Keep Calm and Carry on’ posters.
Condition: Generally very good, few old soft creases.
