About the Item
Original vintage poster: …BECAUSE SOMEBODY TALKED. Original World War II (2) linen-backed 1944 poster.
Artist: Wesley Heyman. Size 20" x 28" Linen backed. Excellent condition. Antique poster ready to frame. Original issued U. S. Government fold marks touched up during linen backing. This is not considered a defect on World War II posters.
Because Someone Talked portrays a cocker resting his head on his master's scarf. The gold star flag behind his head reveals that his master has been killed in action. The flag was awarded to mothers who lost sons.
Published by the United States Government Printing Office
Interpretation This poster, issued by the United States government during World War II, is a warning to citizens that discussing troop movements, or other military information that might be useful to the enemy, could have serious consequences. The Service Flag hanging on the wall symbolizes the gravity of "loose talk". The single star on this flag indicates that the family has one member in the armed forces. Initially, the star would have been blue, but it has been replaced with a gold star. The gold star indicates that this person has died in the service of his or her country during the war (possibly due to "loose talk").
