HOWARD CHANDLER CHRISTY (1873-1952) GEE!! I WISH I WERE A MAN. 1918. 40x26 inches, 101 1/2x66 cm. Condition B+: minor creases, abrasions and restoration in margins and image. Matted and framed. One of two posters by Christy featuring this particular beauty. The other, with a tan background, pushes for service in the Naval Reserve or Coast Guard. This one has a narrower focus, seeking recruits for just the Navy, with a more blatant challenge to the public's masculinity, "Be a Man and Do It!" Rawls p. 80, Theofiles p. 46, Weill 216, Darracott 5, Rickards 32, Borkan p. 24, War Posters 99.
