Uncle Sam poster


The most famous military recruitment poster, at least in the United States (and surely that's all that matters ;-)). The "I Want You" image of Uncle Sam has become iconic, and the subject of countless parodies. This is a high quality scan of an original poster from 1917, not a modern remake.

Currently used in Uncle Sam, Recruiting poster, and James Montgomery Flagg.

 * Strong Support. Very good, high dpi, quite famous, of great historical value. Well worth it. One problem - the image on the description page is fine and great, but when clicked on it takes me to a very small and slightly different version of the picture. I'll see if uploading it to Wikipedia again works. &mdash;Vanderdecken&there4; &int;  &xi;  &phi;   11:29, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Works now. &mdash;Vanderdecken&there4; &int;  &xi;  &phi;   11:29, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It's not necessary to upload the image twice. You simply have to clear your cache by going to the image and pressing CTRL and F5 at the same time. &mdash; 0918 BRIAN &bull; 2006-01-8 17:02
