Unused postcard in pristine condition. Archibald "Archie" Gunn was born October 11, 1863 in Taunton, Somersetshire, England  He received his earliest art training from his father, and at Tottenham College in Staffordshire. In 1878 he attended the Calderon Art Academy in London. In 1880, Gunn was commissioned to paint a portrait of Lord Beaconsfield, which was presented to Queen Victoria. In 1883, he designed posters and costumes for theatrical productions of Gilbert and Sullivan in London. He used the pen-name "Chicot" for some of his theatrical posters. In 1889, Gunn traveled to America; settled in Manhattan and quickly began his American career as a commercial artist.  In 1890 he became an editorial artist for The New York World newspaper, and also illustrated the magazine Truth. The greatest public renown for Gunn came from his posters, calendars, prints, and postcards of beautiful girls, which were fashionably displayed in homes throughout the nation at the turn of the century. Archie Gunn died on January 16, 1930.
