The phœnix-like "summer girl" / Ehrhart.
Summary
Print shows a female figure with wings rising from the flames of summer romances that are burning out as the season comes to an end; she leaves behind many broken-hearted men on the beach at a summer resort.
Caption: She rises gayly from the ashes of her season's conquests, to continue her deadly work as the "Winter Girl" of the near future.
Illus. from Puck, v. 38, no. 967, (1895 September 18), centerfold.

Alois Senefelder, the inventor of lithography, introduced the subject of colored lithography in 1818. Printers in other countries, such as France and England, were also started producing color prints. The first American chromolithograph—a portrait of Reverend F. W. P. Greenwood—was created by William Sharp in 1840. Chromolithographs became so popular in American culture that the era has been labeled as "chromo civilization". During the Victorian times, chromolithographs populated children's and fine arts publications, as well as advertising art, in trade cards, labels, and posters. They were also used for advertisements, popular prints, and medical or scientific books.
