I Haven't Talked Yet!
Security poster showing a naked baby in a helmet marching with a scroll reading 'Resolved! No loose talk in 44'. The headline, with 'talked' in red script, plays on the newborn-year image of 1944; the child's innocence is borrowed as a model of silence. The closing line tells readers to keep their eyes open and mouths shut.
