American artist and illustrator (1877–1960) best known for his iconic image of Uncle Sam saying ‘I Want You’ on a World War I recruiting poster. TLS signed in red pencil, “Jim,” one page, 8.5 x 11, personal letterhead, circa Christmas 1944. Unique letter to Dick Hyman. In full, with spelling and grammar retained: “I glady accept your sincere Greetings and wish for a happy Xmas and would say by retoin mail the Same to Youse and many of them! Also bigod if you’re goin all Reckless and projectin into 1945 I will say I wishyez all your heart’s desires In spite of my never understanding how you managed to throw hogtie and brand that Beautiful Creature you familiarly call Mrs. Hyman!!! I love that woman!” Around the text using pencil and watercolors, Flagg has sketched a grumpy version of himself in a Santa outfit and a wreath labeled “Poison Ivy.” Intersecting folds, toning to borders, and binding cuts and holes to left border, otherwise fine condition. An uncommon piece of original art from one of America’s foremost illustrators.
