Vintage Fashion Drawings by Gerry Van Hovel

Geraldine Van Hovel was born in 1933 and made these drawings as a young teenager in Ohio.  Several members of her family were adept artists.  She eventually became a kindergarten teacher in Salem, Ohio and married notable artist and cartoonist Edmund (Ed) Sullivan jr. who drew cartoons for the Saturday Evening Post and other magazines.
