Included are 42 full page illustrations, of which 8 are in full color, along with a full color frontispiece. "Christy first attracted attention with his realistic illustrations and several articles as a combat artist during the SpanishAmerican War that included the Battle of Las Guasimas, the Battle of El Caney and the Battle of San Juan Hill, published in Scribner's, Harper's, and Leslie's Weekly magazines, and in Collier's Weekly. Christy gained especial prominence with the series, Men of the Army and Navy, and a portrait of Colonel Roosevelt that appeared on the cover of his Rough Riders series published in Scribner's. These illustrations propelled Christy to national prominence. From this, he decided to turn away from war and painting men in uniform. Instead, he yearned for beauty and created the "Christy Girl", redefining the portrayal of women in America through his illustrations and portraits. He captured the modern American woman tall, confident, elegant, witty and athletic. " (from Wikipedia)
