• DESCRIPTION: "The Girl of the Period" is a satirical hand-colored lithograph published by Currier & Ives in the late 19th century, cataloged as Conningham #2378. This print serves as a humorous commentary on the fashion and social trends of the era.? <br><br> The lithograph portrays a fashionable young woman confidently gazing at the viewer. She dons an extravagant hat adorned with a stuffed squirrel, her hair styled in a long braid that reaches her knee. In one hand, she holds a bullwhip, and in the other, a lit cigarette. These elements combine to create a caricature that both showcases and critiques the boldness of contemporary women's fashion and behavior. <br><br>
