The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: WWII PINUPS
Hollywood glamour meets the home front in this gathering of 1940s pin-up and publicity photographs, including Universal Pictures studio stills, patriotic "V for Victory" novelty poses, and portraits credited to Chicago's Maurice Seymour studio. Autographed prints, photographer backmarks, and a studio mailing backing round out the group, revealing how such morale-boosting imagery was made, mailed, and circulated during World War II.
