Less Dangerous Than Careless Talk

What could be more dangerous than an enraged rattlesnake with blood dripping from its fangs? The answer according to this WWII poster is the ramifications from careless talk about troop movements, ship sailings, and war equipment. Albert Dorne (1906-1965) learned how to draw after spending hours every week in the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He began his artistic career as an apprentice letterer working in an art studio, before starting as a freelance illustrator. His works appeared in many magazines such as Life and The Saturday Evening Post, and in 1943 American Artist magazine recognized him as one of the best and highest paid in the field of advertising illustration. In 1948, Dorne opened the Famous Artists School, a correspondence school for art that had Norman Rockwell as a teacher, among other famous artists.
