Artist
Howard Chandler Christy, first became internationally famous when he was sent to cover the Spanish American War by Scribner's Magazine. Upon meeting Teddy Roosevelt, Christy drew a great many illustrations of the "Rough Riders." His extreme patriotism was rewarded during WWI when he was chosen to create a set of posters for the US government to promote the Red Cross, enlistment, and Victory Liberty Loan camp
aigns. Posters for this period are some of his best known. This poster for the 1919 Victory Liberty Loan campaign emphasizes that all Americans should donate regardless of their family's original nationality. Indeed, there are 14 names on the "Honor Roll"
for different ethnic backgrounds. It's a moving image of the "Christy Girl" clutching a large American flag in one hand, while holding up a laurel wreath in the other
