EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph, titled "WWII: POSTER, c1943. What I know - I keep to myself. Careless talk costs lives" is a powerful reminder of the importance of discretion during wartime. Created in the 1940s by an unknown English artist, this poster was designed to discourage individuals from sharing sensitive information that could jeopardize the safety of Allied forces. The central focus of the image is a mid-portrait shot of a man with a knowing wink in his eye. His expression exudes confidence and secrecy, hinting at his possession of classified knowledge. The text boldly printed beneath him reads "What I know - I keep to myself". This simple yet impactful statement serves as a stern warning against loose lips. In an era where communication was limited compared to today's standards, this poster aimed to emphasize the potential consequences of careless talk. It reminds viewers that even seemingly innocent conversations can have dire implications on military operations and endanger countless lives. The artist's choice to create this piece as a lithograph adds depth and texture to the illustration, enhancing its visual impact. Its timeless message continues to resonate today as we reflect on history and honor those who fought for our freedom during World War II. This print from Granger Art on Demand captures not only an important historical artifact but also serves as a poignant reminder for all generations about the significance of discretion in times of war.
