EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking black and white portrait photograph, titled 'Flagg, Montgomery, Mr.' and created by renowned artist Arnold Genthe between 1917 and 1921, captures the allegorical figure of Montgomery Flagg in a powerful and evocative image. The first World War was in full swing during this period, and the image conveys the spirit of patriotism, duty, and service that defined the era. Montgomery Flagg is depicted standing tall and proud, dressed in a formal suit and coat, with his arms crossed in front of him. His gaze is fixed and determined, and the folds of his coat and the creases in his trousers suggest a sense of purpose and readiness. The background is simple, with a plain, dark backdrop that emphasizes the figure of Flagg and the American flag that hangs behind him. The image is reminiscent of Uncle Sam's iconic 'I Want You' poster, which was also created during this period to encourage enlistment in the armed forces. The allegorical figure of Montgomery Flagg represents the ideal American man, ready to serve his country and defend its values. This photograph is a testament to the artistic school of the 1910s, which emphasized the use of strong, bold lines and high contrast to create powerful and evocative images. The nitrate negatives used in this photograph have contributed to its enduring legacy, preserving the image in stunning detail and allowing it to continue inspiring and captivating audiences to this day. The Library of Congress holds this important piece of American heritage art, which serves as a reminder of the sacrifices and dedication of the men and women who served during the first World War and beyond. The image continues to resonate with viewers, invoking a sense of pride, duty, and the enduring spirit of the United States of America.
