HOWARD CHANDLER CHRISTY (1873-1952) I WANT YOU FOR THE NAVY. 1917. 41 1/4x27 inches, 104 3/4x68 1/2 cm. Forbes, Boston. Condition B+: replaced upper right corner; minor repaired tears at edges; minor creases and restoration at edges and along vertical and horizontal folds. Christy's wartime beauty is a more seductive and less forceful plea than Flagg's I Want You poster, appealing to baser instincts than patriotism and guilt.
