1901 Athlete Athletic Bloomers Feminism Football Frank Gibson Girl Stripe Progress
EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph by Frank Nankivell, titled "CARTOON: FOOTBALL, 1901. Progress" takes us back to the early years of American football. The illustration showcases a significant turning point in the sport's history and offers a glimpse into the evolving role of women during this time. In this lively scene, we see an athletic woman clad in bloomers confidently participating in a football game alongside male players. Her presence challenges traditional gender roles and reflects the rising influence of feminism at the turn of the century. This portrayal is particularly striking as it features a Gibson Girl, an iconic representation of independent and modern women during that era. Nankivell's skillful use of lithography brings depth and vibrancy to every detail - from the intricate stripes on their uniforms to the expressions on each player's face. Through his artistry, he captures both the excitement and progressiveness surrounding football at this momentous period. As we observe this lithograph today, it serves as a reminder of how far society has come since then while also acknowledging that there is still work to be done towards achieving gender equality in sports. It stands as a testament to those trailblazers who defied societal norms and paved the way for future generations of female athletes. Granger Art on Demand allows us access to these historical prints, enabling us to appreciate not only their artistic value but also their significance within our cultural heritage.
