Title

John Brown as Uncle Sam

Description

A man poses with one hand on his hip, standing before a large United States flag, draped and falling to the floor. He wears pants that match the red and white stripes on the flag, and a tuxedo jacket made of fabric alternating light stars on dark background with dark stars on light background. The lapels are smaller white stars on dark background. His vest is white stars on a medium background; a hatband of the same material goes around the base of his white top hat. He has a darker cravat tied around a white shirt with a standing collar, and dark shoes. He wears wire-framed glasses and a full goatee.
