About

Created early on in the war, this poster was meant to inspire unenthusiastic Americans reluctant to have their country join the fight. Artist James Montgomery Flagg presents America as a beautiful woman, wearing a blue, red, and white dress and a starred Phrygian cap, a Roman symbol of freedom. Fast asleep in an armchair beside a Grecian column, she is unaware of the dark storm clouds filling the left corner of the poster. While the references to antiquity remind the viewer of how classically great their country is, the sleeping beauty about to be engulfed by the storm also serves as a frantic call to action.

Custom Framing

We use the highest quality wood in our modern shop to create custom frames, frame your print with precision-cut acid-free mat board, and mount it behind a UV-blocking semi-gloss plexiglass to protect your art from the sun, dust, pollution, heat, and humidity. Then we add finishing touches like a wall hanging mount, wall friendly bumpers and a protective backing.

Please note that the images of frames displayed here are meant to be representative of those used in our custom-framed products, but may not exactly match the ones in the actual products.
