Progress
1901
Created during the Art Nouveau era, this bold 1901 lithograph by Frank Nankivell satirizes the rise of the 'New Woman.' Against a striking crimson background, a towering female football player in a striped jersey stands confidently with a ball, while a tiny, powdered-wig gentleman from a bygone era pokes at her with a cane. Nankivell, a star cartoonist for the famous humor magazine *Puck*, uses this hilarious visual clash to highlight the shock of women entering athletics, contrasting modern independence with old-fashioned propriety.
