About the Item

During the Second World War, there was a constant concern in the United States about inappropriate information being overheard by enemy agents both domestically and abroad. Espionage and interception of secret information was a real concern on both sides of the war. In this poster by an anonymous artist, we see the specifically marked letters that once should be most careful with; locking them up somewhere safe would have been a paramount concern. This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster is conservation mounted, linen backed, and in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.
