Howard Chandler Christy (1873-1952)

This label was a tribute to the artist Christy.  Howard was a world renowned artist and did many portraits of the rich and famous.  Among them President Calvin Coolidge, Amelia Earhart and Benito Mussolini.  He also painted a large historical scene for the Capitol Building.  But the masses knew him as an illustrator for the magazine "Cosmopolitan" (1910).  He focused mainly on the emancipated  Woman.  Oh, he also did the Lucky Strike cigarette girl in the '20's.
