The “I Want You” Poster refers to the American war propaganda bill featuring the iconic image of Uncle Sam pointing his finger at the reader that was widely used to recruit soldiers during both World War I and World War II. Due to the massive scale of its distribution across the U.S. during the first half of the 20th century, the poster still remains culturally relevant to this day as one of the most recognizable American relics from the era.
