Enoch Bolles and his Pinup Girls | 54 Pics
Submitted by admin on Monday, 15 December 20083 Comments
Enoch Bolles (1883-1976) was among the earliest and most widely circulated glamour illustrators. While known today solely as a pinup artist, Bolles was a versatile illustrator who also worked extensively in the advertising industry, creating hundreds of attractive color illustrations for products ranging from bread to cigarettes. His most widely reproduced advertising illustration is the “Windy Girl” for Zippo lighters. This work, produced in 1937, has recently been reissued as the Vargas Windy Girl and has appeared in well over 100 variations on Zippo lighters.

Hi,
These are great but several, although commonly attributed to Bolles, were painted by Earle Bergey. I have a Bolles website at: http://enochbolles.blogspot.com/
