James Montgomery Flagg (1877-1960) · National War Garden Commission, 1918

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.

What it is
A colour lithograph James Montgomery Flagg drew in 1918 for the National War Garden Commission, which held its copyright, 84 by 56 cm.
Why it matters
The Commission's caption, signed by its president Charles Lathrop Pack, reads Every garden a munition plant. The Library of Congress describes Flagg's Sow the Seeds of Victory for the same Commission in the same words.
What to notice
Liberty sowing seed under a single question, with Pack's caption below.
A victory planted one furrow at a time.
