Saul Tepper paints a stark warning against "Careless Talk" in this graphic image from 1944. The dramatic scene of a soldier carrying his wounded (or worse) comrade is a stern reminder to the American public on the home-front to be mindful of what they say in public.

During the Second World War, there was a constant concern in the United States about inappropriate information being overheard or intercepted by enemy agents both domestically and abroad.

Saul Tepper (1899-1987) began his career as a typographer for catalogs. He transitioned into a role as a commercial illustrator in the 1930s. Towards the end of his career, Tepper became a songwriter for the likes of Ella Fitzgerald and Nat King Cole.

What People Are Saying...

  • If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

  • Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

  • The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
