Cornell girl #9 by F. Earl Christy, 1899

Meet the ultimate Edwardian pin-up, decked out in Cornell University's signature carnelian red and white! F. Earl Christy, famous for creating the 'Christy Girl'—the glamorous successor to the Gibson Girl—captures a stylish young woman ready to lead the charge. She sports a towering hat adorned with red bows and blue feathers, clutching a fur muff in one hand and a cane with a flowing red-and-white flag in the other. With her sleek red suit and peeking white ruffles, she looks less like a student and more like a fashion icon marching boldly into the 20th century.
