HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR
A gorgeous original vintage 8x9 3/4 double weight photo of the great Verree Teasdale, early 1930s. This is an Art Deco masterpiece as the sleek star is posed with a sleek Deco statue of a coiled panther! mounting traces on the verso, slight yellowing and light silvering, slightly trimmed on the top margin. very fine The Hollywood pinup which began with Mack Sennett's famous "Bathing Beauties" reached its zenith in WWII. Evelyn Keyes, ...one of the most popular of the WWII era pinup girls, wrote in "Scarlett O'Hara's Younger Sister": "It was our patriotic duty to answer the gallant servicemen...with pinup pictures, the nakedest the Hays Office would allow...We females spent hours posing in bathing suits, negligees and shorts, jumping out of candy boxes for Valentine's Day. Posing with turkeys for Thanksgiving, sleighs for Christmas...it made us feel like such good Americans!" The pinup would endure through the Korean War and into the 1950s, when the more aggressive Men's magazines made them seem quaint and old fashioned. Today these photos, also known as "Cheesecake" are valuable collectors items symbolizing a time of more innocent glamour and beauty.
