I was a victim of Careless Talk

This poster dramatically juxtaposes a crumpled, sunken merchant ship with the accusing stare of a sailor, both victims of "careless talk".

One of a number of posters warning about the potential consequences of "careless talk" regarding ships or other maritime matters, this example uses art created by Harry Mayerovitch, a Montreal artist, architect, and author. It is one of a number of posters Mayerovitch produced during the Second World War, during which he also headed the Wartime Information Board's Graphic Arts Division.
