A blog about an old bag full of vingage, original WWII Propaganda posters. I sort, archive and store the posters, publishing what I find out about the contents of the bag along the way. Please see the first post, "Overview of project" to learn how the posters were obtained. PLEASE LEAVE ME YOUR COMMENTS!

Somebody Blabbed. Button Your Lip!
Don't talk about anything.
The artist commissioned for this poster is Albert Dorne. On a blood red background an outstretched hand lies limply next to a the smoking butt of a rifle. GPO Jacket No. 451239. This particular poster appears to have been hung or displayed at some point in the past. It is more worn at the folds than others in the collection. Interestingly, it is also notarized. There is an embossed / raised seal on the lower right corner reading, "Notarial Seal Ramsey County, Minn." The poster is 20" x 14".
