EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a powerful World War I recruitment poster from 1917, titled "Portrait of Lady Liberty Sleeping, 'Wake Up America!, Civilization Calls Every Man, Woman and Child!'". The renowned artist James Montgomery Flagg skillfully created this iconic image that symbolizes patriotism and the urgent call to action during a time of war. In this portrait, we see Lady Liberty depicted as a woman peacefully sleeping. However, her slumber is disrupted by the plea for every American citizen to awaken and join the fight for their country. The American flag proudly waves in the background with its stars and stripes serving as a reminder of national unity. The composition exudes an air of nostalgia with its vintage aesthetic and color palette. It transports us back to an era when communication relied on powerful visual imagery rather than modern technology. This recruitment poster served as a rallying cry for individuals to enlist in the army and contribute to their nation's defense. As we gaze upon this photograph today, it serves as both a historical artifact and a timeless reminder of sacrifice and duty. It encapsulates the spirit of those who answered their country's call during World War I while also reminding us that our collective responsibility towards liberty never ceases
