 | | The Gibson Girl was, at once, a series of illustrations, a "look", an influence on fashion and publications for 20 years, and even a doll modeled on the look; the Victorian "glamour girl". |
 | | Massachusetts born Gibson was an acclaimed artist in oils, writer, and master artist in fl and white drawing where he was known for his skillful, somewhat satirical portrayals of society life. |
 | | The original inspiration for the Gibson girl was apparently the Paris-originated mannish, tailored suits for women of the late 1800s. |
