1942 WWII Vintage Anti-Espionage Propaganda Poster

Widely regarded as one of the most graphically striking posters of WWII, "He's Watching You" was designed in 1942 by illustrator Glenn Grohe for the U.S. Office for Emergency Management, warning workers and citizens to guard their words against enemy espionage. The stark geometric rendering of a helmeted soldier's eyes — reduced to near-abstraction against blocks of yellow and navy — marked a real shift in American propaganda design toward bold, modern graphic language, a sharp departure from the more illustrative posters of WWI.

Restored from the archival scan, preserving the original mustard yellow, navy, and black palette.
