This question is from Wingednike. Thank you!
We have a few different quadrants of ladies. The original group of Ladies were originally advertisements for American Optical, a company founded in the 1800s. (Their history is some neat reading.) The designer is unknown. If you know who illustrated The Ladies, please tell us!
We have since developed additional quadrants with the help of Wax Creative to add Ladies of Color to the original four. You can read about the process for our first Lady and how it worked. I then found a stock image of a model who would be a perfect addition to the Ladies, and after some art design work, we added her to our group a year later.
The ladies rotate in appearance in the masthead of the site so you’ll see them all at some point while you’re hanging out with us.
