WORLD WAR II: US ARMY RECRUITMENT POSTER., FLAGG, JAMES MONTGOMERY. 1877-1960.

"I WANT YOU for the U.S.ARMY ENLIST NOW" poster. New York: Leslie-Judge Co, [late 1941].

FLAGG, JAMES MONTGOMERY. 1877-1960. "I WANT YOU for the U.S.ARMY ENLIST NOW" poster. New York: Leslie-Judge Co, [late 1941]. Broadside poster showing Uncle Sam demanding you enlist in the Army. Old creases, several clean tears and chips to margins, light browning on lower right and lower margins. 38 x 25 inches (970 x 640mm).

This poster is often confused with the earlier version that Flagg issued to recruit in the Great war, published in 1917. Come the Bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941, Flaggs Uncle Sam image was recalled to active duty, and that famous "Uncle Sam" image continued to inspire America to enlist. This example was folded away in a cupboard and has suffered accordingly.
