^Lot 609 James Montgomery Flagg

American artist and illustrator (1877–1960) best known for his iconic image of Uncle Sam saying ‘I Want You’ on a World War I recruiting poster. Vintage matte-finish 8 x 10 Hurrell photo, signed and inscribed in red pencil to noted collector Lionel Aucoin, “To L. A. Aucoin, James Montgomery Flagg, Feb 26/37.” Some light contrast to signature, a crease to lower right corner, and scattered silvering to dark background, otherwise fine condition.
