Flirt Magazine – June 1950 – Vol. 3 No. 3 – Peter Driben Pin-Up Cover
Original June 1950 issue of Flirt, Volume 3, Number 3, featuring a wonderful illustrated pin-up cover by legendary American glamour artist Peter Driben.
Published under the slogan “A Fresh Magazine,” this classic postwar publication combines vintage cheesecake photography, burlesque entertainment, playful humor and colorful pin-up illustration.
The eye-catching cover features a surprised blonde beauty caught in a gust of wind, wearing a stylish blue dress, sheer stockings, orange heels and an oversized hat as autumn leaves swirl around her. Driben's signature is visible near the bottom of the illustration, making this an especially appealing collectible for fans of classic American pin-up artwork.
Inside are black-and-white glamour photographs, chorus girls, humorous articles, show-business features and vintage pin-ups reflecting the entertainment culture of the early 1950s.
