EDITORS COMMENTS
This image features a red-haired pin-up girl, posed provocatively in a figure-hugging strapless orange gown and black evening gloves. The alluring subject of this photograph is Merlin Enabnit, a successful artist born in Des Moines, Iowa, in 1903. Enabnit gained notoriety during the 1940s when he produced a total of 24 pin-up illustrations for The Sketch, a popular magazine of the time. Enabnit's pin-ups were known for their bold and seductive style, which often featured women in revealing outfits and playful poses. This particular image, titled "If that's all you can think of, we'd better go to the movies," showcases Enabnit's ability to capture the essence of glamour and allure. The orange gown, which hugs the model's curves in all the right places, adds to her sensuality, while the black evening gloves add a touch of sophistication and elegance. Enabnit's pin-ups were a product of their time, reflecting the cultural shifts and societal norms of the 1940s. They were a source of inspiration and delight for soldiers during World War II, who would often collect and trade the images. Today, Enabnit's pin-ups are considered historical artifacts, offering a glimpse into a bygone era of pin-up culture and American history. This photograph, taken on January 31, 1979, is an import from Mary Evans Prints Online and is available for rights-managed use. It is a testament to Enabnit's artistic talent and the enduring appeal of pin-up culture.
