Howard Chandler Christy   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Howard Chandler Christy traveled a long road from watching steamboats on the riverbanks of the Muskingum in Ohio to painting Presidents, society's grandes dames, movie stars and admirals. Born in 1873 to Francis Marion Christy and Mary Matilda Chandler, his childhood nickname was 'Smiley,' although his nickname later in life became 'Poppy.' The family claimed an 11-generation descent directly from Miles Standish, Captain of the Mayflower. Christy died peacefully at the age of 80 in 1952, in his beloved studio apartment at the Hotel des Artistes. www.mutoworld.com /Christy.htm   (1322 words)

Scene at the Signing of the Constitution of the United States by Howard Chandler Christy   (Site not responding.

Howard Chandler Christy was born in Morgan County, Ohio on 10 January 1873 into a family that traced its lineage back to the Mayflower Compact. teachingamericanhistory.org /convention/christy-about.html   (1825 words)

Howard Chandler Christy Biography Born in 1873, Howard Chandler Christy was just 22 when the first "Christy Girl" (at right) was published in the November, 1895 issue of The Century magazine.

There are other large-format books of the era that feature Christy images, but this portfolio is fairly unique in that the plates were done especially for this presentation and appeared here for the first time. www.bpib.com /illustra2/christy.htm   (2039 words)
