•  Info created by James Montgomery Flagg -
•  Info James Montgomery Flagg (1877-1960) used the familiar figure of "Uncle Sam" and thus created the most famous and even today still used recruiting poster by the US Army. From April 1917 to autumn of 1918 more than four million pieces of it were printed. This print was probably made in 1975.

•  Comment - The colors look washed out to me. For whatever it's worth here are some Google image search results on "uncle sam army poster". -- Ikan Kekek (talk) 22:05, 20 January 2016 (UTC)

   Comment these are different pictures. The colorful one, whithout a blue background and different colored lines (and much smaller than the poster), is the original draft of 1918 which is located in the Library of Congress, this one is the wellknown recruiting poster, which has been produced later on. Maybe they softened the colors, being less aggressive. The quality and the the poster itself is in a good state of preservation, not outwashed IMO. --Hubertl 22:21, 20 January 2016 (UTC)
