EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print from 1942, titled "WWII: POSTER, c1942. Keep mum - shes not so dumb! Careless talk costs lives" is a powerful reminder of the importance of silence during wartime. Created during World War II, this poster was part of a propaganda campaign aimed at discouraging careless talk among the Allied forces. The illustration depicts an English couple, with the man and woman standing side by side. The woman's finger is placed gently on her lips, symbolizing the need for secrecy and caution in their conversations. The text boldly states "Keep mum - shes not so dumb! Careless talk costs lives" emphasizing that even seemingly innocent chatter can have dire consequences. The artist skillfully captures the seriousness and urgency of the message through his use of bold colors and strong lines. This lithograph serves as a visual reminder to all who see it that loose lips can endanger not only individuals but also entire nations fighting for freedom. As we reflect on this historical artifact today, it serves as a poignant reminder that our words hold power and must be chosen wisely in times of conflict or uncertainty. It stands as a testament to the sacrifices made by countless men and women during WWII and encourages us to remain vigilant against careless talk in any situation where lives may be at stake.
