ITEM: RAREBROWN & BIGELOW ADVERTISING PIECE FEATURING GIL ELVGREN PIN-UP ART FROM THE 1940's OR 50's What a great find! Up for auction is an advertising piece featuring his art made for Anzio Motor Lines, Inc. This piece is a 5 3/8" X 7" fold-out booklet that contains five pin-up photos. The cover of the booklet is called "There's Romance in Figures" and includes the teaser "an illuminating treatise with a timely message". Apparently this was a series since it also includes "Pocket Classics Vol. V" on the front cover. Printed by Brown & Bigelow, St. Paul, Minn., USA." The first photo is 6 1/2" X 5". The second and third photos are also 6 1/2" by 5". The fourth photo folds out to 13" X 10" The fifth and final photo folds out to 20" X 13". All five photos contain the Elvgren script signature. A true piece of Americana history - don't let this one get away! I will listen to offers for multiple fold-outs. Message me with an offer for multiple fold-outs and I can adjust the price accordingly. NOTE: The Fold-out portion of this book was installed backwards. So, you have to open it from the back cover. Other than that, this Fold-out is in nice condition. Please view all pictures for best description. Thank you for looking! SHIPPING: I will combine shipping on multiple items won on the same day that can be packaged together.
