One of a set of 24 “Gibson Girl” plates, made by Royal Doulton, circa 1902-15. The series of 24 plates depicts the trials and tribulations of an attractive widow in the Gilded Age, as designed by Charles Dana Gibson (1867-1944).
Gibson was a talented and successful commercial artist in the USA, with his work covering the decades between 1890-1920. The pen and ink sketches were titled “The Widow And Her Friends”; first published in Life Magazine and the artist’s own book in 1901. The depicted scenes are titled, expressing Gibson’s dry wit. The “Gibson Girl” became synonymous with the ideal modern woman; tall, elegant, and independent. This plate titled “They All Go Skating” and shows a Gibson Girl helping several men out the water after the ice broke and they fell through. The copyright on this plate is 1900.
