Description
Frameable authentic Gibson Girl original plate from c1900. The drawings of Charles Dana Gibson presented a new look and contemporary beauty for women of the 1890s and early 1900s. His compelling images established a lasting style (The Gibson Girl) and were topical and even humorous. Gibson’s art created a confident, self-reliant look to women, which gave them a modern appearance that still resonates to this day. His women, lovely and aloof, seem to know something the viewer doesn’t. Gibson’s unique black and white images were presented exactly as he drew them in a series of large format books published around the turn of the 20th century. Not many of the original plates from those books survive. This example, however, is one of the authentic plates from those books. It is printed in sharp, black and white line on good paper. Later halftone editions failed to capture the crispness and subtle character of his art. In these original plates the blacks are dense black, the finer lines are true to Gibson’s original drawings. This example presents a single woman--lovely and confident—in one of his better-known images. It is one of the better Charles Dana Gibson original plates attainable. Beautiful impression. 9.5 x 8 on 11 x 17 sheet.
