James Montgomery Flagg (1877-1960) · U.S. Army recruiting, 1918
Format
Archival pigment giclée on museum-grade matte art paper, color-managed to the source scan — the flat inks and stone grain intact. The 40×60 is the room-changer.
Size
$39.00
What it is
A colour lithograph James Montgomery Flagg drew for Army recruiting in 1918, 70 by 52 cm.
Why it matters
The sheet asks for men for the infantry or for one of the twelve other branches, and leaves a blank at its foot for the nearest recruiting office. Flagg had drawn his Uncle Sam for Army recruiting the year before.
What to notice
A soldier with the American flag and a laurel wreath, ringed by citizens who look up to him.
Respect, promised in advance of the enlistment.
