Foreshortening

This iconic American poster is a great example of foreshortening.  Uncle Sam's hand pointing at us and arm approaching us, gives us the illusion that they are truly extending, although on a 2D surface.  James Montgomery Flagg based his drawing on the Lord Kitchener recruitment poster used by the British in WWII as well.
