Titled *A daughter of the south*, this pen and ink drawing casts the Gibson girl in a Southern setting, pairing the era's best-known American type with a regional identity. Charles Dana Gibson created the figure in the 1890s, and his poised, high-collared women appeared widely in magazines such as *Life* and *Collier's*. Probably from about 1909, the drawing shows the type at the height of its popularity, when it set a standard for fashionable femininity. The regional title adds a sense of place to an otherwise generic ideal.
