The Artist Charles Dana Gibson,- Caption label from exhibit "Gibson Girl's America The Gibson Girl as the New Woman": An Athletic Image. This poster advertising the June issue of Scribner's Magazine highlights the Gibson Girl's ability to take part in and enjoy strenuous physical activities. Through depictions of young women bicycling, playing tennis and golf, horseback riding, swimming, and the like, Gibson and fellow illustrators helped promote the idea of the athletic girl as fashionable and socially acceptable.
