The American Golfer December 1, 1923 Giclee Print by James Montgomery Flagg at AllPosters.com

Artist and illustrator James Montgomery Flagg’s famous, patriotic Uncle Sam has remained a steadfast icon since its creation for the war effort during WWI. Flagg (1877 – 1960) minimized modeling expenses by using his own face for his iconic Uncle Sam image. Based upon a few drawings, St. Nicholas Magazine hired him when he was only 12 years old, and by age 15 he was a staff artist for Life and Judge. Flagg’s artwork was published by almost every major magazine, and he was elected to the Society of Illustrators Hall of Fame in 1980.

The American Golfer cover of December 1, 1923 features a James Montgomery Flagg illustration of a female golfer in profile swinging a golf club. Just as his friend and colleague Charles Dana Gibson painted a type of woman, so did Flagg. Flagg Girls represented the independent and athletic spirit of the women from the period.
