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 essence of the American spirit during the First World War era. The subject, identified as Montgomery Flagg, stands tall and proud, dressed in a formal suit and coat, with a crisp white collar and a star-spangled American flag draped behind him. His hands are casually tucked into his pockets, and he gazes directly at the camera with a determined and resolute expression. The allegorical figure of Uncle Sam, synonymous with enlistment and recruitment into the armed forces, is subtly conveyed through the use of the flag and Montgomery's posture. The image, which was likely used as a poster or illustration during this period, embodies the spirit of patriotism and the call to duty that swept across the United States during the First World War. The photograph is a testament to the artistic school of the early 20th century, with its use of high contrast nitrate negatives to create a dramatic and evocative image. The monochromatic color palette adds to the timeless and enduring quality of the photograph, making it a valuable addition to any collection of American history or heritage art. The Library of Congress holds this important piece of history in its vast archives, preserving it for future generations to study and appreciate the rich cultural and historical significance of this iconic image.
