Speed Up America.
As in his famous poster I Want You for U.S. Army (see No. 76), Flagg once again used himself as the model in this very rare image. The poster was originally titled “Wake Up America,” but perhaps because he had already created a poster with this title in 1917, Flagg opted to use “Speed Up America” instead.
Size: 28 7/8 x 45 1/8 in./73.3 x 114.6 cm
Condition: B+/ Slight tears at folds.
Printer: Plampin Litho., New York City
Reference: Flagg, p. 40 & 41; PAI-XC, 77
Key Words: War & Propaganda; American
