HOWARD CHANDLER CHRISTY SCRIBNER'S FOR MARCH. Circa 1900. 22 1/4x14 1/2 inches. (56 x 37 cm.) Grignard Litho., New York. Condition B+: abrasions and scuffing in image; restoration in lower corners. Before his meteoric rise to fame as father of the "Christy Girls," the artist was known as a "war illustrator." Christy actually spent time in Cuba during the Spanish American War, where he met Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders, and did a series of drawings on the American Revolution for Scribner's. For this cover story on the Boer War, Christy most likely worked from a photograph.
