Today, 29th June is The Gibson Girl Day, because it's the 127th anniversary of the Camille Clifford's birth.
The Gibson Girl was the
personification of the ideal woman of the Belle
Époque in United States. Its creator was the illustrator Charles Dana
Gibson.
There are different points of view,
given that some people think that The Gibson Girl is the first national
standard for American women and other people disagree. Anyway the Gibson's
illustrations were very popular during the early 1900's.
Many models posed for this artist,
even his wife, but the most famous one was the Belgian actress Camille Clifford. She was the perfect
model for these beautiful illustrations.
Happy Birthday Mrs. Clifford!
I would like to recommend you the
next article about The Gibson Girl and its creator. Essential reading for all
those concerned about the vintage art and history.
And the next one is specially for my
lovely readers from Spain and/or South America.
