EDITORS COMMENTS
Miss Camille Clifford: A Belgian-born Stage Actress and the Iconic Gibson Girl Miss Camille Clifford, born in Belgium in 1885, was an accomplished stage actress who left an indelible mark on the early 20th century. She gained international recognition as the model for the Edwardian Gibson Girl, a cultural icon created by renowned illustrator Charles Dana Gibson. In this photograph, taken on May 18, 1906, Miss Clifford exudes elegance and grace as she poses in an intricately decorated dress. The hourglass figure, characterized by a small waist, full hips, and generous bust, was a hallmark of the Gibson Girl style. With her arms outstretched and twisting in a spinning motion, she embodies the playful and dynamic spirit of the Gibson Girl. Miss Clifford's beauty and poise were not limited to the pages of magazines. She graced the stages of London and New York, captivating audiences with her acting talents. In her personal life, she married the Hon. Lyndhurst Bruce in 1907, but tragedy struck when he was killed in action during World War One. Miss Clifford later married Captain John Meredyth Jones Evans. This photograph, a testament to the allure and sophistication of the Edwardian era, showcases the timeless beauty and charm of Miss Camille Clifford. With her butterfly-like pose and enchanting smile, she continues to captivate and inspire.
