Uncle Sam, half-length portrait, pointing at viewer as part of the United States government effort to recruit soldiers during World War I.
Uncle Sam, half-length portrait, pointing at viewer as part of the United States government effort to recruit soldiers during World War I.

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. —Vanderdecken∴∫ξφ 11:29, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
