Time-lapse Restoration

Here is a time-lapse video of a poster being digitally restored. The poster is by Howard Chandler Christy. It is a good example of the original "Christy Girl" that became famous during the era of World War I.




I really like this poster, not only is it a great image, but it is also interesting in that unlike most recruiting posters of the time, it features a woman in uniform.

There is a fun detail in the background of the painting. Note that there is a Marine Corps flag being carried into battle; in front of the American flag. Nicely done! But the American flag is higher, and rightfully so.
