JAMES MONTGOMERY FLAGG JAP... YOU'RE NEXT!

1945. 20x14 inches. Recruiting Publicity Bureau, U.S. Army. Condition B+: restored losses in corners; repaired tear in left margin; unobtrusive horizontal folds. A "muscular and aggressive" (Paret p. 196) and therefore unusal image of Uncle Sam. Here, our kindly Uncle has taken his jacket off, displaying his star spangled vest and red striped pants, and is rolling up his sleeve in preparation to fight. But even in this powerful image, the threat is not one of violence, but rather of increased American production, as seen by the wrench in his hand. Paret 277.
