EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "WWII: POSTER, 1942. Button your lip! Loose talk can cost lives" takes us back to the era of World War II. The poster, created by Otto Soglow in 1942, serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of discretion during wartime. In this image, we see a mid-aged man with an expression that conveys seriousness and urgency. His finger is pressed against his lips in a gesture commanding silence. The text on the poster reinforces this message: "Button your lip! Loose talk can cost lives". These words serve as a stark warning against careless conversations that could potentially jeopardize national security. Otto Soglow's artistic style shines through in this cartoon-like illustration, which adds an element of approachability to the otherwise serious subject matter. Through simple lines and minimalistic details, he captures our attention and compels us to reflect on the consequences of loose lips during times of war. As we gaze at this historical artifact from 1942 America, it serves as a poignant reminder that even seemingly innocent conversations can have far-reaching implications in times of conflict. This photograph allows us to appreciate both the power of propaganda art and its ability to convey important messages for societal well-being.
