EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful lithograph from 1942 captures the essence of wartime propaganda during World War II. Titled "Keep it dark - Careless talk costs lives" this poster serves as a stark reminder of the importance of secrecy and silence in times of conflict. The image depicts an English ship sailing through a darkened sea, symbolizing the blackout measures implemented to protect against enemy attacks. The central focus is on a hand covering an open mouth, emphasizing the need for individuals to refrain from sharing sensitive information that could jeopardize national security. The illustration's simplicity adds to its impact, with bold text reinforcing the message: careless talk can have deadly consequences. Produced by The Granger Collection, this lithograph exemplifies how art was utilized as a tool for persuasion and mobilization during wartime. By appealing to citizens' sense of duty and patriotism, such posters aimed to unite communities and instill a collective responsibility for safeguarding vital information. As we reflect on this historical artifact today, it serves as a poignant reminder that even small actions can have significant repercussions during times of war. This print encapsulates not only the spirit of England's homefront efforts but also highlights broader themes relevant throughout history – reminding us all about the power our words hold and urging us to choose them wisely in order to protect what we hold dear.
