During the 1910s young girls wore big bows on their hair that fell onto the head, and so they became known as "flappers". The name would stick with this generation, as they grew up in the 1920s.

Hi, I have been in love with this illustrators work for many years; but have not been able to find much out about him/her. Do you know anything at all about the person who did these great ads?
Thanks for posting them...some I have never seen.
Hi! I don't know anything about the illustrator either. I've made a set on flickr with all the images I could find of his/her work. You can see it, if you like, by following the link underneath the image to my flickr photostream. Have a nice holliday!
