What the image shows
A wartime propaganda poster with a stylised illustration of a sailor in a white cap and blue collar, one finger raised to his lips in a request for silence. Behind him a grey road or sea track leads toward a horizon with several ships on the left, and the upper area reads 'CARELESS WORDS' in white capitals above 'may cause' in red script and 'DISASTER!' in large red letters at the bottom. A handwritten note in pencil appears in the top margin above the printed title.Described automatically by a vision model; may contain mistakes.
