Uncle Sam's Welcome: A Historic Encounter between Two Great Patriots - Uncle Sam shaking hands with the Marquis de Lafayette (1757-1834) in 1917 This evocative poster captures a unique and significant moment in American history, as Uncle Sam extends a warm welcome to the Marquis de Lafayette in 1917. The Marquis de Lafayette, a French military officer and statesman, played a crucial role in the American Revolution, fighting alongside the Continental Army and becoming a close friend and ally to George Washington. His influence extended beyond the battlefield, as he advocated for the American cause in Europe and helped secure crucial military and financial support. As the United States entered World War I on April 2, 1917, the Marquis de Lafayette was invited back to America as a symbol of the strong bond between the two nations. This historic visit was met with great fanfare, and the people of the United States embraced their French ally as a hero and a symbol of the enduring friendship between the two countries. This powerful poster captures the spirit of unity and camaraderie between Uncle Sam and the Marquis de Lafayette, two iconic figures in American and world history. The image serves as a reminder of the important role that international alliances and friendships have played in shaping the course of history, and the enduring bond between the United States and France.
