Lot Report

Provenance:

Acquired in the U.S. by the present Private Collection, Toronto near Atlanta, circa 1952

Note:

Probably the best known poster of all time, Flagg’s poster was first issued by Leslie Judge Publishers in 1917. Flagg’s image for this poster was originally used as a Leslie magazine cover on July 6, 1916. The poster became such an important cultural icon that it appeared again in WWII and adapted differently for varying causes through to the present day.
