James Montgomery Flagg is best known for his depiction of Uncle Sam in recruitment and public service announcement posters of both World War I and II. "Jap...You're Next!" features a new painting created by Flagg c.1942. Here, Uncle Sam is beefed up and stronger than ever; rolling up his sleeves with a wrench in his hand.The imagery references Flagg's iconic "I Want You" poster with artistic changes. Flagg's Uncle Sam imagery carries high profile notoriety amongst public and poster collector alike. This is the large size version of this poster and it is exceptionally rare in this size.
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 as well as in London and Paris. He worked in a variety of illustration styles in publishing, and rose to become 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.

If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
