This cautionary poster, distributed between 1941 and 1943, was done by the artist Edward T. Grigware. (1889-1960) Grigware, a renowned painter of western subjects, did a number of war-related posters for the WPA. (Works Projects Administration) He was also a “War Record” painter for the U. S. Navy, working from the carrier Enterprise in the midst of the Pacific campaigns. The above poster can be seen in big and huge versions and, if you like, you can see other examples of Grigware’s work, the war poster, Death-trap for the Jap, and an oil painting, Ice Floes, Kodiak.
