EDITORS COMMENTS
"That'll Stop Your Careless Talk! (Praps, 1942) - In this charming and humorous WW2-era comic postcard, three little kids are seen covering up the mouth of a younger toddler with a spotty hankie. The image is a playful reference to the government campaign encouraging citizens to be vigilant about sharing sensitive information with the enemy. The caption "That'll Stop Your Careless Talk!" adds a light-hearted touch to the serious message. The sweet and innocent scene of the children, with the older kids attempting to keep their younger sibling quiet, is reminiscent of the innocence and resilience of children during wartime. The use of caricature and exaggerated expressions adds to the amusing nature of the image. The postcard was published in 1942 and is the work of artist Madge Williams. The image of the gagged boy with a hoop around his head, confronting the viewer, adds an element of surprise and humor to the design. This unique and entertaining postcard is a delightful reminder of the wartime spirit and the creative ways in which people found joy and levity during difficult times."
