Romantic Reverie
Our Girls: Poems in Praise of the American Girl by American artist and illustrator Howard Chandler Christy (1872-1952), with black and white and color illustrations by Christy and poems by a variety of authors, expressing turn-of-the-century attitudes towards the American Woman, was published in 1907 by Moffat, Yard & Company in New York.
Christy, who initially garnered notice as a combat artist of the Spanish-American War of 1898, was famed for his “Christy Girl,” confident, independent, elegant, and witty, a figure that significantly influenced the societal perception of women. His depiction of the American feminine ideal is often viewed as the “colorful and illustrious successor” to the well-known “Gibson Girl” that embodied the ideal of a romantic, attractive society woman.
Christy's continued reputation and fame led to commissions for the war effort during WWI and portraits of notable American and world figures, leading Time magazine in 1938 to proclaim him as "the most commercially successful U. S. artist."
