CHARLES DANA GIBSON'S ILLUSTRATION OF CHARLES LINDBERGH
CHARLES DANA GIBSON (1867 - 1944) American illustration artist who created the 'Gibson Girl' for Colliers magazine. Later, he bought Life magazine and worked as the magazine's editor until the 1930's. His illustration of famed aviator Charles Lindbergh as originally printed in Life magazine, 10.75 x 13.75 in., signed 'C.D. Gibson' beneath the image in blue ink. The illustration is printed above the poem 'Our Boy' by OLIVER HERFORD (1860-1935), who also signs beneath the text and adds the date 'July 1927'. Light creases, else very good condition. Sold with the front of a mailing envelope, return addressed 'C.D. Gibson, Dark Harbor, Maine', which also appears to be written in Gibson's hand.
