WardMaps Antique Poster of the Day: “Rumor – Kill It!” WWII Poster 1942 – Frank Newbould
Designer: Frank Newbould
Size and Condition: Measuring approximately 13 7/16 x 8 15/16 inches, this example includes foxing and light staining, though the colors remain strong and visually engaging.
Notes: This original and visually striking 1942 British propaganda poster by Frank Newbould delivers a clear wartime message aimed at curbing the spread of rumors and misinformation. Featuring bold color and simplified graphic design, the piece reflects Newbould’s distinctive ability to communicate urgency with clarity and visual restraint. Issued during a period when uncontrolled information posed real risks to public morale and national security, it captures an essential but less commonly highlighted aspect of the war effort. Its smaller format distinguishes it from larger recruitment posters and suggests more targeted or localized distribution, contributing to its relative scarcity today. As a work by a recognized and collected British artist, it carries added appeal beyond its immediate historical function.
Price for Authentic Antique Poster: $500. reflecting condition and strong visual design for this category. Newbould high value artist but size and content not his greatest.
