^Lot 449 Charles Dana Gibson

American artist (1867–1944) whose distinctive ‘Gibson Girl’ illustrations defined the image of American women at the turn of the 20th century. ALS signed “C. D. Gibson,” two pages on two adjoining sheets, 4.75 x 7.75, personal letterhead, no date. Letter to an unidentified gentleman. In full: “All the original drawings I have are now at Norman Kocian in St. Louis. I shall have some in a month or two but I prefer to sell them at an exhibition rather than separately. I am very sorry not to be able to send you some drawings.” In fine condition, with some scattered light toning and soiling and a few stray ink marks.
