JAMES MONTGOMERY FLAGG (1870-1960) Group of 4 proposed U.S. Army post card designs including "I Want You."
Proposed but unpublished designs. Graphite and ink wash on paper. 216x140 mm; 8 1/2x5 1/2 inches, sheets. Each initialed "J.M.F." in pencil, lower left corner. With two original descriptive sales and property slips by the A.D. Steinbach & Sons department store, New Haven, Ct on their letterhead.
The first image is a sly, self-referential work showing a soldier enthusiastically saluting Uncle Sam in Flagg's own famous "I Want You" recruitment poster, the most iconic of all World War Two posters.
