Patriotic League
Howard Chandler Christy (1873-1952) · Patriotic League, 1918
Format
Archival pigment giclée on museum-grade matte art paper, color-managed to the source scan — the flat inks and stone grain intact. The 40×60 is the room-changer.
Size
$39.00
What it is
A colour lithograph Howard Chandler Christy drew for the Patriotic League in 1918, 70 by 51 cm.
Why it matters
The sheet carries the open blue triangle, which the Library of Congress records as the symbol of war relief work. Christy's Christy Girl followed Gibson's, and his recruiting and Liberty Loan sheets are the work he is best known for.
What to notice
A young woman with an American flag, and the open blue triangle set into the design.
A girl and a flag, enrolled in one league.
