A signed studio pinup photograph of model Vicki Hazell, staged in a simulated tropical setting and issued as 'A Walter Thornton Pin-Up' by the Walter Thornton Model Agency of New York. Inscribed 'To Paul, Sincerely, Vicki,' the photograph is representative of the personalized pinup images the agency mailed to American servicemen during World War II, part of a broader wartime tradition of morale correspondence between the home front and troops overseas.
