That's an interesting collection of flags.

The title should read Eleanor Roosevelt meets MERRILL Denison.

Cloyne and District Historical Society said:
The title is now fixed, but is the man shaking hands actually Merrill?

This photo depicts a man shaking hands with Mrs. Roosevelt. The man doesn't look like Merrill Dension. Muriel Denison was the invited guest...perhaps she took the photo?

Hmm...not sure I understand the date. According to several sources, this poster wasn't released until 1942, and the BSA campaign didn't begin until 1942, as well. Besides, it doesn't make sense to have a US flag on a war poster until after December of 41 anyway, I'm thinking. Pretty sure the date is wrong on this one.

1943. The top four flags, USA, GB, USSR and ROC, being positioned together corresponds with the meetings between Roosevelt, Stalin, Churchill, and Chiang-Kai-Shek in 1943.

I have to agree with lpress and mrpibb; I don't think the United States would be so firmly represented on a war poster in 1941. The phrase "UNITED NATIONS" perplexes me; the official United Nations wasn't formed until 1945, but this usage of the phrase seems to be more of an informal description of a confederation of nations with similar goals, not an official UN poster; if I'm wrong, then the photo would have to date from 1945, I would say.
