The face of the Gibson girl, the classic gilded age beauty—Evelyn Nesbit
Evelyn Nesbit was an American artists' model, chorus girl, and actress. She is best known for her career in New York City, particularly her involvement in an abusive and ultimately deadly love triangle between railroad scion Harry Kendall Thaw and architect Stanford White, which resulted in White's murder by Thaw in 1906.
Stanford White was the architect who designed the Madison square garden. He befriended Evelyn and her mother when she was a young poor art model trying to help support her family by posing for photographers and painters alike. Stanford groomed Evelyn, and one night he brought her back to his house, plied her with champagne, and then proceeded to drug and rape her. He continued to abuse her for a period of time after this. He told her to keep it a secret.
She dated John Barrymore, and they were each others first loves. The relationship was short lived, but neither ever forgot the other.
Evelyn married Harry Kendall Thaw, and eventually she confided the assault to her new husband. Though Evelyn felt relieved to finally speak it aloud to another human being, Harry obsessed over exacting revenge on White.
At 11 pm Thaw fired three shots into Stanford White’s head, killing him instantly. White was ironically attending the rooftop theater at Madison square garden.

"When I am asked if Anne herself is a ‘real person’ I always answer ‘no’ with an odd reluctance and an uncomfortable feeling of not telling the truth. For she is and always has been, from the moment I first thought of her, so real to me that I feel I am doing violence to something when I deny her an existence anywhere save Dreamland. Does she not stand at my elbow even now — if I turned my head quickly, should I not see her — with her eager, starry eyes and her long braids of red hair and her little pointed chin? To tell that haunting elf that she is not real because, forsooth, I never met her in the flesh! No, I cannot do it! She is so real that, although I’ve never met her, I feel quite sure I shall do so someday — perhaps on a stroll through Lover’s Lane in the twilight — or in the moonlit Birch Path — I shall lift my eyes and find her, child or maiden, by my side. And I shall not be in the least surprised because I have always known she was somewhere."
Lucy Maud Montgomery, the Selected Journals, Volume II
Left: 'Dawn' as posed by Evelyn Nesbit in a tinted postcard by Eickemeyer's A. S. Campbell Art Company — just as Anne poses in tableaux in the novel. Seeing this was the beginning of the inception of Anne's physical rendering for Maud.
Right: In The Metropolitan Magazine (September 1903) where Maud discovered the chrysanthemum picture of Evelyn was a second picture identifying the model as "Miss Evelyn Nesbitt" [sic]. This picture in particular was clipped and put up on Montgomery's bedroom wall, as her very own design for Anne's looks.

Propaganda
Evelyn Nesbit (A Fallen Idol)—no propaganda submitted
Evelyn Preer (The Homesteader, Within Our Gates)—Oscar Micheaux's go-to leading lady! One of the first Black movie stars, and is noted for her versatility. Very little of her work survives and it's a shame she's not better known as an early icon of the form! i think she's beautiful <3
This is round 1 of the tournament. All other polls in this bracket can be found here. Please reblog with further support of your beloved hot sexy vintage woman.
[additional propaganda submitted under the cut.]
Evelyn Nesbit propaganda (some propaganda could not be included because it was pre-1910, ie, before out tournament begins):

Tfw I realized that The Corinthian’s straw hat outfit is quite possibly inspired by that of one of my phd thesis case studies, the first playboy murderer Harry K. Thaw, who shot the renowned architect and horndog Stanford White in front of hundreds of witnesses at the rooftop theatre of New York City's Madison Square Garden in 1906
