Label TextNell Brinkley was so famous that these delicately drawn, curly haired beauties would have been immediately recognizable as "Brinkley Girls" around 1920. Brinkley's drawings of idealized women, handsome suitors, and cavorting cupids circulated nationally in newspapers. Here, her stylish subjects study a "map of the heart," seeking the shortest possible line to reach it.
