First female pin-up
In 1887, Charles Dana Gibson - then twenty years of age - began a long-term contract with
"Life". As a young
man, Gibson "dipped his pen in the cosmic urge and tried to draw a girl so alluring that other
young men would
want to climb into the picture and sit beside her." By the time of the 1890s the Gibson girl was
well established,
and she was a front-runner for twenty years. In 1903, Gibson signed a hundred thousand
dollar contract with
"Collier's" (1886-1957) to render a series of double-page "cartoons" over four
years' time. "The Gibson Girl was
not simply a model but represented a way of life."
