Description |
The US government's propaganda campaign during the first and second World War was innovative in its use of well-known artists and illustrators to promote the war effort. Howard Chandler Christy (1872-1952) was one of the best-known American illsutrators of his time. Images in his distinctive style - often featuring his famous "Christy Girl" - appeared in many National magazines and posters. |
