Pin-up & Glamour on Playing Cards

Pin-up

Feminine beauty has been appreciated since prehistory.

Pin-up on playing cards runs from WWII morale pieces and post-war glamour to brand promotions and artist portfolios. Subjects include film star photo sets, magazine or cosmetics tie-ins, freebie inserts, and illustrative series by artists such as Alberto Vargas, David Wright and others. Formats range from standard packs with studio stills to rummy or picture sets, often crediting photographers or designers.
