Description:   Produced in 1917 to increase recruitment during World War I for the United States Armed Forces this now iconic poster remains one of the most enduring images in American history and serves as a reminder of the country s military history and the men and women who have served their country throughout numerous conflicts across the globe which have solidified the nation s reputation globally. The fictional character of Uncle Sam was created based on a conglomeration of characters throughout American history that came to represent the figurehead of the United States and the call to serve to preserve democracy and promote the values associated with the spirit of the Declaration of Independence. This poster was illustrated by American visual artist JM Flagg who worked prominently through the middle portions of the twentieth century and became immensely popular during his career producing cartoons political satire and other pieces of work outside the scope of his training in fine art. One of the defining features of this poster is the perspective of Uncle Sam and his pointing directly at the viewer to give a sense of visibility and duty to serve one s country. As the twentieth century unfolded this poster emerged as a symbol of American political art a testament to the nation s development and evolution. It is a tangible piece of American history offering a poignant glimpse into the sacrifice and bravery of service people during the tumultuous 1900s including the two World Wars.
