FLAGG, James Montgomery (1870-1960). I WAN YOU. New York: Leslie - Judge Co., 1917.
A fine example of Flagg's immortal First World War recruiting poster. In an effort to cut costs (and not hire a model) Flagg drew Uncle Sam in his own image. From there the poster took on a life of its own, becoming so iconic that the military reused the image during the Second World War. An particularly bright and clean example.
1026 X 760mm, linen backed (a few minor surface abrasions and light creases).
