{"product_id":"george-petty-pin-up-19","title":"Making a Splash by George Petty","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis original magazine page from Esquire captures George Petty at the height of his powers. The August 1939 illustration shows a woman diving into water, her impossibly long, elegant legs the only portion visible above the splash. The witty caption, 'I still say it's her better half,' delivers the playful humor that made Petty's work so beloved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePetty's signature peach-pink flesh tones and masterful rendering of the female form are on full display. The composition is clever and confident: negative space does the heavy lifting while those iconic legs command attention. This is the work that defined American pin-up art and made the Petty Girl a household name.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA delightful example of pre-war American illustration, this piece offers collectors a genuine artifact from the golden age of magazine art. The visible signature and printed date authenticate this as an original page from the magazine that launched a thousand imitations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14.0\" x 9.75\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e George Petty\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Authentic Vintage Posters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44800838566003,"sku":"IL7406","price":39.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0088\/3005\/8556\/files\/2026-04-20-14-06-08-01.jpg?v=1776723867","url":"https:\/\/www.authenticvintageposters.com\/en-nl\/products\/george-petty-pin-up-19","provider":"Authentic Vintage Posters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
