Leon Helguera, artist. Office of War Information poster, no. 78. 1943. 28 x 20.

During WWII, images of Uncle Sam were used to promote national security, especially in plants that were producing war materials under government contracts. This poster was inspired by James Montgomery Flagg's 1917 "I Want You for the U.S. Army" poster. Helguera has successfully resurrected Uncle Sam in this poster with an effective message.
