Wikipedia:Featured picture candidates/Uncle Sam poster

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.
