I WANT YOU FOR THE NAVY. 1917.

41x26 inches. Forbes, Boston.
Condition A-: minor creases in margins.
Another in the pantheon of Christy's war-time beauties. A more seductive and less forceful appeal than Flagg's "I Want You" poster, appealing to baser instincts than patriotism and guilt. "Sexual provocation was the essence of the Christy girl recruiting posters." (Paret p. 56). Rawls p. 78, Paret 74, Borkan 24.
