HIGH HEEL Magazine Vol. 1 No. 7 – October 1937 – Peter Driben Cover – Vintage Pin-Up Glamour

Original October 1937 issue of HIGH HEEL Magazine, Vol. 1 No. 7, published by Ultem Publications of New York.

This is a beautiful piece of pre-war American pin-up and glamour publishing, with a fantastic illustrated cover signed by legendary pin-up artist Peter Driben. Driben would become one of the best-known American pin-up illustrators of the 1940s and 1950s, and his artwork is a major part of the appeal of these early HIGH HEEL issues. Ultem's magazines are documented as featuring work by Driben and other notable illustrators of the period.

The October 1937 issue combines fiction, humor, glamour photography and stocking/leg pictorials in classic late-Depression-era newsstand style.

Sailorette Beware by Nard Jones

Midnight Kiss by Peggy Milton

Neck and Neck by Myrtle Adams
