GEE!! I WISH I WERE A MAN. 1917. 41x26.875in. Condition B+: repairedtears and restoration along margins, slightly affecting image; minor creasing in image. Showing a pretty brunette dressed in a navy sailor outfit, Christy's classic wartime poster appealed to the American public on many levels, helping to rally "an unenthusiastic populace to support a 'dubious European adventure" as well as "solidify the nation's resolve to sustain a military-industrial effort of unprecedented scale"; lettering in red, black, and blue (America np. 102). Daracott 5, Rickards 32.
