HOWARD CHANDLER CHRISTY I WANT YOU FOR THE NAVY. 1917. 413/8x27 inches. Forbes, Boston. Condition B: creases and staining in image; minor restoration in margins. Another in the pantheon of Christy's war-time beauties. A more seductive and less forceful appeal than Flagg's "I Want You" poster, appealing to baser instincts than patriotism and guilt. "Sexual provocation was the essence of the Christy girl recruiting posters." (Paret p. 56). Rawls p. 78, Paret 74, Borkan 24.
