James Montgomery Flagg (1877-1960) created the famous portrait of Uncle Sam that became one of the most famous posters in the world. It originally was published as the cover for the July 6, 1916 issue of Leslie's Weekly with the title "What Are You Doing for Preparedness?" More than four million copies of the poster were printed after the United States entered World War I in 1917. The portrait was so popular, it was used again during World War II. Flagg always said that he used himself as the model for Uncle Sam.
