Nell Brinkley and the placement of the vanishing point

I was looking through an online edition (through my library) of The Flapper Queens: Women Cartoonists of the Jazz Age curated by the incredible Trina Robbins. It’s a wonderful collection. I was really struck by the art of Nell Brinkley. Not so much her figures and faces, but her composition and use of color. Then I noticed this opening panel to her Sunday strip, “Sunny Sue.” The vanishing point…

🔸 Illustrator Nell Brinkley and a little friend - c 1908. Brinkley came to New York to draw for the Hearst syndicate. Within a year, she had become a household name. Flo Ziegfeld dressed his dancers as “Brinkley Girls,” in the Ziegfeld Follies. Three popular songs were written about her. Women, aspiring to the masses of curly hair with which Nell adorned her creations, could buy Nell Brinkley Hair Curlers for ten cents a card. Young girls cut out and saved her drawings, copied them, coloured them, and pasted them in scrapbooks. The Brinkley Girls took over from the Gibson Girls.
