Anton Otto Fischer (1882.-1962) who painted this poster "A careless word…a needless sinking" was born in Munich and studied art at the respected Julian Academy in Paris before coming to the United States to live in New York City in 1903. He was affiliated with Saturday Evening Post nearly 50 years, he painted for dozens of covers, did much story illustrations and advertisements for major companies as well mainly for the Post but other big magazines as well. Anton Fisher was himself a sailor and a marine artist who is best known for painting the sea, her beauty and her dangers, whether they be hurricanes or German U-Boats. It's no surprise that his paintings graced such book titles as The Cruise of the Cachalot, Round the World After Sperm Whales, Treasure Island, The Mutineers, 20000 Leagues Under the Sea, The Dark Frigate and Moby Dick as well as others. Fisher's work is more pictorial than most of the posters created during WWII. The detail of the composition and mood in A careless word…a needless sinking, help distinguish Fischer as one of the government's finest artists during the war.

World War 2 Homeland Security USA Safety Patriotic Posters, a U.S. "Loose Talk" Type Poster:
"A careless word, a needless sinking"

Espionage has been with us since early time but the immigrant/melting pot based nature of the United States and our relatively late involvement in World War 2 made 1940s America a lucrative environment for spies and potential saboteurs. Naturally the dangers and concerns of national security intensified when the United States entered the war and America's overseas military and homeland patriots urgently needed additional protection. The U.S. Government had a great need to alert its' military and private citizens to the presence of enemy spies and saboteurs lurking in American society. A major advertising blitz involving all media eventually produced thousands of remarkable "careless talk" type posters to warn people that small snippets of information regarding troop movements or other logistical details would be useful to the enemy and could easily compromise national security and U.S. military personnel' safety. These vintage 1940s public domain poster images like this one "A careless word, a needless sinking" displayed on this page from the Safety and National Security World War 2 Gallery of this website allow you to own a copyright free piece of WWII history, a historic patriotic artwork poster.
