At the turn of the twentieth century, Charles Dana Gibson's
pen-and-ink drawings of the "American Girl" -- now remembered as
the Gibson Girl -- became the national ideal of femininity. This
collection of his images of youthful, dynamic women offers an
informative and amusing reflection of the era's social life.
Sentimental, humorous, and often gently satirical, these images
portray the Gibson Girl at the theater, in the drawing room,
flirting and courting, vacationing at the beach, and engaging in
other genteel pursuits. Several of Gibson's "common man"
illustrations provide a contrast, along with a section devoted to
one of the artist's best-known and most beloved characters, the
curmudgeonly Mr. Pipp.
This gallery features more than a hundred carefully selected images
from vintage editions. A rich source of royalty-free art, it offers
graphic artists, fashion designers, social historians, and
nostalgia lovers a lovely and accurate chronicle of a bygone era.
