U.S. Navy–Here he is, sir c. 1914

"U.S. Navy–Here he is, sir" is a recruitment poster from 1914 by American illustrator Charles Dana Gibson. The poster features Uncle Sam, a personification of the United States, introducing a young man to a woman, emphasizing the need for both men and women to join the Navy. This poster uses a familiar visual trope of Uncle Sam, a popular image of patriotic representation, to appeal to American citizens and encourage them to join the Navy. This is a fine example of American patriotic art in the early 20th century.
