BE LOYAL TO AMERICA. 1917.
42x28 1/2 inches.
Condition B: repaired tears and overpainting in margins and image.
A previously unrecorded variant of Flagg's famous Wake Up, America! poster. Not only does the text differ, changing the poster's message to one of loyalty instead of preparedness, but the entire blue plate has been removed from the printing process. Here, Columbia does not have blue stars on her hat or a blue blouse, nor is the sky blue. The words "Wake Up, America!" are faintly visible beneath the text at top. Rawls, cover and frontispiece (var). Theofiles 7 (var).
