Our mysterious beauty from the previous post now has a name. She is Camille Irene.
I did some searching (What did we do before Google?). It turns out that the man who is responsible for the personification of the Gibson Girl, Charles Dana Gibson, used his wife, Irene, as a model - possibly the first one. The most famous Gibson Girl model was apparently Camille Clifford. (Of course, it's a man who is responsible for the female "ideal" of the time. Things haven't changed, but that's another post for another blog!)
I think "Camille Irene" fits.
