Beginning his career at the age of 12 when his work was featured in magazines such as \u003ci\u003eLIFE\u003c\/i\u003e, Flagg used his passion for art and comedy to create countless cartoons and illustrations which appeared in books, newspapers and advertising all over America. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYLF4A9B16C09 zz2070\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Period Paper","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":7647469273148,"sku":"234100_YLF4_037","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1021\/8371\/products\/YLF4_037.jpg?v=1571713910","url":"https:\/\/www.periodpaper.com\/products\/1909-cover-life-art-james-montgomery-flagg-art-children-flowers-edwardian-ylf4-234100-ylf4-037","provider":"Period Paper Historic Art LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
