John Emmet Sheridan

He was born on June 14, 1877, in Tomah, Wisconsin. Sheridan attended Georgetown University graduating in 1901. During World War I, he created many patriotic posters in support of the United States' war effort as part of the committee of artists that also included Charles Dana Gibson (creator of the Gibson Girl) and James Montgomery Flagg (creator of the iconic Uncle Sam recruiting poster). He died on July 3, 1948, at Roosevelt Hospital in Manhattan, New York City. ==Signatures and monograms ==

As an artist of advertisements and magazine covers, Sheridan was not always free to sign his full name to his art work. As a result, many of his illustrations contain only stylized monograms to identify the artist.
