EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen-and-ink drawing by Charles Dana Gibson transports us to a carefree summer day at the beach in early 1902. Titled "Of course there are mermaids" this artwork showcases Gibson's signature style and his iconic representation of the American woman, known as the Gibson Girl. In this scene, a group of women clad in fashionable bathing suits enjoy their leisure time by the sea. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing not only the beauty of these women but also their sense of freedom and joy. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost feel the warm sand beneath our feet and hear the soothing sound of crashing waves. Gibson was renowned for his ability to depict daily life during that era with charm and wit. His drawings often portrayed strong, independent women who challenged societal norms. This particular piece exemplifies his talent for combining fashion with recreation, creating an image that celebrates both elegance and relaxation. The Granger Collection has preserved this remarkable artwork from one of America's most celebrated illustrators. Through its meticulous reproduction process, they have ensured that future generations can appreciate Gibson's genius and be transported back to a time when summers were filled with endless possibilities at the beach.
