James Montgomery Flagg is best known for depicting Uncle Sam in recruitment and public service announcement posters of both World War I and II. You Can Lick Runaway Prices? Features a new painting created by Flagg in c.1942. The poster emphasizes seven steps that the average American could take to prevent inflation. Among these points include significant themes of buying war bonds, conservation, and food rationing. The seven steps correspond to the seven letters that spell Victory. The imagery references Flagg's iconic I Want You poster with artistic changes. Flagg's Uncle Sam imagery carries high-profile notoriety among the public and poster collectors alike.
James Montgomery Flagg (1877-1960) began his illustration career at the age of 12, with contributions to Life magazine by age 14. He studied in New York at the Art Students League and in London and Paris. He worked in various illustration styles in publishing and became the top-paid illustrator at the height of his career. Flagg is best known for his patriotic recruitment posters. His most famous, I Want You, features Uncle Sam. Flagg modeled the portrait of Uncle Sam on himself, only adding a goatee and white hair. The poster was wildly successful, reaching over four million copies produced during World War I alone. This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction.

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.
