Esquire

Esquire launched in 1933 as a men's magazine that took illustration seriously, commissioning cover art and interior spreads that rivaled anything in the fine art press. George Petty and Alberto Vargas defined its early visual identity with pin-up work that became part of the broader American graphic vocabulary. The pieces shown here are period originals from that tradition.
