CHRISTLE, Edward L. (1904-1976) designer, Baltimore, MD.
Born 18 June 1904.
Died Baltimore, Maryland, December 1976.
Note: Not to be confused with Howard Chandler Christy
(q.v.) whose painting of the US Constitution signerswas the
subject of a plaquette by Rudolph Freund (q.v.) struck by
Medallic Art Company (1937-023); this is an example of
a double coincidence of similar names of both artists and
subjects!
