James Montgomery Flagg
James Montgomery Flagg was a prodigious illustrator, working as a contributing artist to Life magazine at the surprisingly young age of 14. Flagg was born on June 18, 1877, in the Village of Pelham. He is most famous for creating the first image of the fictional Uncle Sam. His ‘I Want You’ lithographed image of Uncle Sam was published in 1917, during the First World War. It is storied that Flagg used his own image as the model for Uncle Sam, imagining himself as a much older man and with facial hair. Flagg died on May 27, 1960, in New York.
