EDITORS COMMENTS
- a poignant and powerful message encapsulated in this evocative WW2 poster from the Mary Evans Picture Library/Onslow Auctions Limited collection. Dated circa 1940, this poster serves as a stark reminder of the importance of secrecy and discretion during wartime. The image features a hand holding a ship's wheel, with the dark, ominous waters of the sea stretching out behind it. The hand, with its strong, determined grip, symbolizes the individual's responsibility to keep information confidential and to avoid careless talk that could potentially endanger the lives of soldiers and the success of military operations. The poster's title, "Keep it Dark," emphasizes the need for secrecy and the importance of avoiding any action that could draw unwanted attention or reveal sensitive information to the enemy. The phrase "Careless Talk Costs Lives" serves as a chilling reminder of the potential consequences of careless words and actions during wartime. The poster's design is simple yet effective, with bold, clear typography and a striking visual image that would have grabbed the attention of viewers during the Second World War. The use of the sea and ships as a backdrop adds to the sense of mystery and danger, while the hand on the wheel reinforces the idea of individual responsibility and action. Overall, this "Keep it Dark, Careless Talk Costs Lives" poster is a powerful reminder of the importance of secrecy and discretion during times of war. Its timeless message continues to resonate today, as we reflect on the sacrifices made by those who served during the Second World War and the importance of protecting sensitive information in our modern world.
