During WWII there was a pretty large campaign against people having “loose lips” and discussing any information they knew about what was going on in the war. The posters contained a pretty terrifying message- that if you talk, people will die. The illustrations that accompanied them were often very graphic to drive the message home. These were a few I found in the virtual library of the Cincinnati Library. These are all high quality and are free to use!
