Classic pin-up art flourished in magazines, calendars and advertising during the mid-twentieth century, combining glamour, humour and colourful illustration. Alongside the best-known names, many other artists contributed to the distinctive style and variety of vintage pin-up pictures. This gallery brings together classic pin-ups by various artists, including named illustrators represented by just a few pictures in our collection and artists whose identities have yet to be established. Browse a varied selection of retro glamour illustrations, from playful poses to elegant painted portraits. Where an artist is known, their name is included; if you recognise an unidentified picture, we welcome information that could help us credit its creator.
