Item Description
Visually stunning 30x40" stone litho poster features iconic World War I image of Uncle Sam by James Montgomery Flagg, an image which has become synonymous w/the United States and is one of the most popular of all war posters. Using his own image to avoid having to hire a model (adding only some age and a white goatee), Flagg fashioned one of the most successful recruitment posters ever printed, so popular that it was later re-purposed for World War II. Poster has been linen-mounted and has had no restoration other than some minor color touch-up to small margin tears along upper right and single 1" tear at upper left. Red portions of poster have slightly faded w/age, but blues remain strong. Still displays Fine/VF as linen-mounted. Iconic American image.
