Nannie Langhorne Shaw pictured in The Bystander at the time of her engagement to Waldorf Astor in 1906. Her sister Irene married the artist Charles Dana Gibson so both women were celebrated as being the inspiration for his drawings of pretty girls. As Lady Nancy Astor, she would be the first female M.P. to take her seat in the House of Commons
