Original Vintage WWII Stetson Hat Poster The Less Said by Robert Riggs 1944 Large
Est: $2,400 - $3,500
Not all WWII posters were created by the US Government. This poster, part of a highly popular campaign, was created by Stetson Hats and warned of the dangers of sharing sensitive information about troop movements. Here, a soldier mourns a lost comrade somewhere in the Pacific. The "Keep it Under Your Stetson" campaign of posters led the phrase to be just as popular a catchphrase as "Loose Lips Sink Ships" during WWII in America. This is the larger version of this poster. Robert Riggs (1896-1970) was an American illustrator and painter. Aside from his war effort posters, Riggs is most well known for his paintings of boxing and circus scenes. Stetson was founded in 1865 by John B. Stetson in Philadelphia, after he returned from a trip out West and was not able to find a suitable hat for the expedition. He is known as the inventor of the cowboy hat, and the company continues to make them to this day (Stetson has been bought and sold several times since its founding). This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. This poster is linen backed and in excellent condition. We guarantee the authenticity of all our posters.

ROBERT RIGGS "Paris Nights at Coney Island." Editorial illustration for "To Heaven by Subway," published in Fortune Magazine, August, 1938. Tempera on panel. 13x16 inches. Signed lower right center. Also signed verso"Robert Riggs Esq." Panel dated May 28, 1938. "To Heaven by Subway" was published anonymously in the August 1938 issue of Fortune magazine. The author provided a thorough and intriguing description of Coney Island near the end of the Great Depression. They describe Coney as being in the era of the "nickel empire," which he or she argues began with the extension of the subway in 1920 and reached its peak in the middle of that decade. The author offers a colorful picture of Coney's many attractions and its visitors, including the games along the Bowery. The image depicts amusement-seekers of all backgrounds playing games such as the Nickelodeon, a punching bag, and a Love Tester Machine.
