"Wake Up America" — 1917 WWI Patriot's Day Poster by James Montgomery Flagg
A woman dressed as Paul Revere races forward, lantern held high and American flag streaming behind her, calling the nation to alertness on April 19, 1917. James Montgomery Flagg created this striking image for Wake Up America Day, a New York City patriotic event where Jean Earl Moehle reenacted Revere’s famous midnight ride to rally support as the United States entered World War I.
In the poster, she wears a dramatic black hat and cloak over stars-and-stripes drapery, her determined gaze fixed ahead as she sounds the call to action. The bold lettering and dynamic composition capture the urgency of the moment, blending Revolutionary history with the fresh demands of a new war.
