Charles Dana Gibson Artist's Proofs
In his numerous illustrations Charles Dana Gibson provided
a piercing critique of the men and women who inhabited his world
exposing their pomposity, self-centeredness, vanity and silliness.
We offer four Artist's Proofs. Three deal with the enduring subject
of men and women, the fourth a gentle poke at a group of tourists.
