HOWARD CHANDLER CHRISTY (1872-1952)
FLY! FOR HER LIBERTY AND YOURS / AAF. 1944.
38x25 inches, 96½x63½ cm. Recruiting Publicity Bureau, United States Army. Condition B+: minor tears at edges, one slightly into left image; pin holes in corners; tape stain at bottom left; time-staining at edges and bottom right; vertical and horizontal folds. Paper.
An uncharacteristically sentimental poster by Christy, reflecting more the aesthetic of his turn-of-the-century illustrations. Christy's World War I images took a substantially bolder and more strident approach, focusing on individuality.
