EDITORS COMMENTS
WWII: POSTER, c1940. Careless Talk Costs Lives. British poster by Fougasse, c1940". This black and white lithograph from the 1940s transports us back to the height of World War II in England. The poster, created by renowned British cartoonist Fougasse, delivers a powerful message that resonated with both soldiers and civilians alike during this tumultuous time. The image depicts a crowded train compartment filled with passengers engrossed in conversation while an elegant bird perched on a branch silently observes them. The text boldly proclaims "Careless Talk Costs Lives" serving as a stark reminder of the importance of discretion and secrecy during wartime. Fougasse's clever illustration captures the essence of propaganda art at its finest - simple yet impactful.
