What it is
A colour lithograph James Montgomery Flagg drew for Britain's Day, 7 December 1918, 76 by 51 cm.
Why it matters
The sheet dates itself to 7 December 1918, less than a month after the armistice, and leaves a blank space at its foot for the local mass meeting. Uncle Sam's fame in military posters dates from Flagg's own recruiting sheet of 1917.
What to notice
Uncle Sam arm in arm with Britannia, with a lion and an eagle at their side.
Two old allegories, walking out together after the war.
