Est: $150 - $250
Property from the Estate of Judge Joel M. Flaum, Chicago, IL Description: Clear-the-Way!! Howard Chandler Christy, WWI Poster, Howard Chandler Christy WWI Fourth Liberty Loan poster, depicting Lady Liberty with soldiers on a ship deck. Print reads, "clear-the-way-!! Buy bonds, in a silver metal frame. Frame size: 30 in. x 20 1/4 in. The vocation of the late United States Court of Appeals Judge Joel M. Flaum was the law. His avocation was collecting. A self-described “picker,” he collected the works of early and mid-twentieth century Chicago and Illinois artists, World War I posters, presidential memorabilia, and mementos of his extraordinary judicial and military careers. Originally from Hudson, New York, Flaum worked as a stock boy in his family’s small grocery store before graduating from Union College and moving to Chicago where he received his J.D. and Masters of Law from Northwestern University. He worked as a county, state, and federal prosecutor before serving for nearly fifty years as a federal judge on the trial court and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in Chicago. For over twenty years, he served in the U.S. Naval Reserve, attaining the rank of Lieutenant Commander in the JAG Corps. Flaum’s exceptional legal career was capped in 2024, when he received at the United States Supreme Court the Edward J. Devitt Award, the highest honor that can be bestowed on a federal judge. . A lifelong lover of art and student of history and politics, Flaum was fascinated by World War I posters, in part because they were created by well-known contemporary artists and because they were the first posters designed for political purposes—to engage all sectors of society in the war effort. His eclectic collection, built over the span of his remarkable life, includes antique maps and prints of his native Hudson Valley, New York to President Abraham Lincoln collectables from his adopted home state of Illinois, and more.

Howard Chandler Christy (New York, 1872-1952) THE TWO MARYS (Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Murray Thompkins and her daughter Ms. Mary Elizabeth Murray Thompkins) oil on canvas, framed, signed & dated 1944 H72" W45" Provenance: Howard Chandler Christy Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Murray Thompkins Thence by descent to present heir Other Notes: Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Murray Tompkins and her daughter boarded the Southern Railroad train in Columbia, South Carolina, in late March of 1944 for a tour of Warrenton, Virginia, Washington, DC, and New York. While in Virginia, they attended the steeplechase races at Glenwood Park in Middleburg. In New York, the ladies had an appointment with famed portrait painter Howard Chandler Christy to sit for a joint portrait. Upon arrival at Mr. Christy's studio, they found that he refused to paint them in the clothing they had brought from Columbia. After much-heated discussion, the parties agreed that with the help of Mr. Christy, they would purchase new gowns for their portrait, as seen in the painting offered here today. The Tompkins returned to Columbia on 15th April 1944. Their trip was noted in Columbia's State Newspaper that evening.
