Sketches and Cartoons

"Sketches and Cartoons by Charles Dana Gibson" is a gathering of amusing sketches and cartoons from the artist Charles Dana Gibson, produced around 1900, that embodies Gibson's signature satirical style, commenting on the traditions and social standards of that era, especially those concerning relationships between men and women and American culture. Featuring 84 cartoons, the collection vividly displays Gibson's cleverness and insight as he turns his eye to subjects such as marriage, dating, and parties. Gibson manages to capture the funny and ridiculous parts of early 20th-century existence, making sure that his work is both funny and offers a glimpse into the cultural feelings of the time.
