Uncle Sam Recruiting Poster
This version of Uncle Sam
was first published in a popular magazine in 1916
and was adopted as a military recruiting poster
when the United States entered World War I.
"The Uncle Sam Wants You" motif
has been used subsequently
to promote every conceivable cause.
During the Vietnam War
it became an anti-war
poster.

James Montgomery Flagg 1877-1960
Perhaps the most
famous
image of Uncle Sam
was created by artist
James Montgomery Flagg
(1877-1960).
In Flagg’s version,
Uncle Sam wears
a
tall top hat and blue jacket
and is pointing
straight ahead
at the viewer.
During World War I,
this portrait of Sam
with the words
“I Want You For The
U.S. Army”
was used as a
recruiting poster.
The image,
which
became immensely popular,
was first used on the
cover
of Leslie’s Weekly in July 1916
with the title
“What
Are You Doing for Preparedness?”
The poster was widely
distributed
and has subsequently
been re-used numerous times
with different
captions.
