Question 43

X is a common national personification of the American government originally used during the War of 1812. X is depicted as a stern elderly man with white hair and a goatee beard. Earlier representative figures of the United States included such beings as "Brother Jonathan," used by Punch magazine. These were overtaken by X somewhere around the time of the Civil War....
The well-known "recruitment" image of X was created by James Montgomery Flagg, an illustrator and portrait artist best known for commercial art. The image of X was shown publicly for the first time, according to some, in a picture by Flagg on the cover of the magazine Leslie's Weekly, on July 6, 1916, with the caption "What Are You Doing for Preparedness? More than four million copies of this image were printed between 1917 and 1918. The image also was used extensively during World War II.
