This is an iconic poster commissioned by the US Army in 1917 for the purpose of recruiting soldiers during WWI. I am interested in this poster because it is an early example of American propaganda and I have always been in American conflicts. This poster was meant to capitalize on patriotism by displaying Uncle Sam. It was based on a British poster that stated “Your Country needs you!” and I would be interested in researching the number of enlistments to accurately see the effectiveness of this poster after it was put in commission.
Hi Max, good start. Could you provide more detailed analysis on this poster?
