DON'T TALK / SPIES ARE LISTENING. Circa 1917. 28x21 inches. Walker, Boston. Condition A-: minor creases in margins; minor restoration in top corners; writing in right margin. The Kaiser's head in military helmet appears on the body of a spider in the middle of his web. Although very popular during the Second World War, anti-espionage posters from the First World War are virtually unknown.
