Uncle Sam recruiting posters for the US Army circa WWII. Gibson writes, in full:
"Its an important artistic event when James Montgomery Flagg fills a gallery with his remarkable pencil portraits. They speak for themselves -- Flagg's insight into Character and his brilliant Technique makes this latest display of his gifts a delight. I am glad of the opportunity to congratulate him [ ? ] Brothers and in public. C.D. Gibson" .
