1st printing. David Wright was one of the leading pin-up artists of the 20th century. Often compared to his American contemporaries Alberto Vargas and Gil Elvgren, the British-born Wright brought a sense of realism to his willowy beauties, who appeared in publications on both sides of the Atlantic, especially during World War II. Now, finally, access has been granted to his archive, and this is the first ever collection of his work. The book includes over 200 pieces, including pulp fiction covers, advertising work and many previously unpublished original paintings! Hardcover, 8-in. x 11-in., 192 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $34.95.
