Perhaps with the exception of Thomas Nast’s drawings of Santa Claus and corrupt politicians in Harper’s Weekly after the Civil War, no American pen artist from the late 19th century is as well-known as Charles Dana Gibson. His “Gibson Girl” appeared hundreds of times in magazines and on consumer products from plates to pillows. However, his lesser-known illustrations for magazine articles, stories, and books are equally as interesting.
Between 1886 and 1915 (and for a limited Mr. Pipp serial in 1929), Charles Dana Gibson drew over 970 illustrations for articles and stories in sixteen magazines; some of which were later published in book form. A further 78 appeared only in books or a folio collection of his drawings.
A 1914 ad in McClure’s Magazine for “The Business of Life” set to appear in Cosmopolitan Magazine.
