“Brinkley Beauties” refers to the work of Nell Brinkley (1886–1944), the enormously popular American newspaper illustrator who created what became known as the “Brinkley Girl.”
Brinkley Beauties "Look Who's Here" Pennant
Circa 1910–1918
Approximately 11 × 29 inches
Made of thick felt intended to hang vertically.
This one has the original cream felt header (with a tiny bit of color bleed), the point survived, the red felt remains rich, and the graphic is intact.
There are moth chews and holes, as shown, but nothing unsurprising for 110-year-old wool felt.
This was shrink wrapped to cardboard in the late 90s, which probably helped it survive. There's a few small rips in the wrap and the tip of the cardboard is bent, but it didn't harm the felt.
This will ship flat. I will not remove it from the cardboard/wrap.
