HOWARD CHANDLER CHRISTY SCRIBNERS FOR MARCH. Circa 1900.
22x14 1/2 inches. Grignard Litho, New York.
Condition B: paper loss in corners; tears and creases in margins; vertical and horizontal folds. Paper.
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.
