About the Item

Nell Brinkley was a pioneering woman illustrator for major national publications. She was famous for her "Brinkley Girl" and in the present work she exhibits a classic example.

Most likely published in one of the Hearst publications. Provenance: Taraba Illustration Art. Framed under glass size 17.5 x 22.75
