Full-Length Pin-Up Portrait by Maurice Seymour, Chicago, c. 1940s
This full-length pin-up photograph, credited to Maurice Seymour of Chicago, exemplifies the glamour and burlesque photography that flourished during the 1940s. Featuring a classic over-the-shoulder pose, sequined costume, and dramatic studio lighting, such images were part of a broader wartime visual culture of 'pin-up' photography, produced for theatrical publicity and distributed widely as morale-boosting imagery for American servicemen during World War II.
