Temptation: Just Before It's Too Late
Creator:
Gibson, Charles Dana, 1867-1944
Description:
Two page spread. This cartoon has an excellent example of the Gibson Man, whom Gibson designed to be the counterpart to the Gibson Girl. He was handsome, an adventurer, and debonair. He was clean shaven in a time when facial hair for men was popular. It is said that Gibson based him on his friend, writer Richard Harding Davis. Most issues of Life had a theme that was introduced by the cover and reflected throughout the issue. The theme of this issue was the Coward's number.
