Social ladder / drawings by Charles Dana Gibson.
A folio of pen-and-ink society cartoons by Charles Dana Gibson, published by R. H. Russell in New York in 1902 for a magazine-reading American middle class. The drawings are pure black line on cream: upswept-haired women in trained gowns, opera boxes, drawing-room interiors, built from parallel hatching and open white space that reproduces cleanly at any size.
