This image features an image of a woman known as a ‘Christy Girl’. His wife inspired the women in Howard Chandler Christy’s Women. The hair color may change in the various posters, but the woman is always the same. What a tribute for his wife.
One of the most famous and influential WW1 propaganda images, this flag-waving Ms. Liberty (aka Columbia) poster is unusual in that it urged both recruitment and bond sales. The US had just entered the war when this poster appeared, and it is one of the earliest examples of myriad illustrations that were used to motivate both troops and the American public. Its designer, Howard Chandler Christy, was at the height of his fame. He earned his spurs as a wartime artist when he accompanied US troops to Cuba in 1898, an experience that stood him in good stead when he was called on to create his famed series of patriotic WW1 posters. Most WW1 posters were issued in several size formats. We have only seen two sizes for this poster.
