Exhibition Label: "Alberto Vargas: The Esquire Pinups," Sep-2001, Stephen Goddard, Maria Buszek This is one of three promotions for War Bonds exhibited here. This appears to be a preparatory drawing that has been converted to a War Bond poster by the addition of text on a mat that has been placed over the drawing. See also the November 1943 promotional pinup and that which appeared in the July 1944 Military Issue.
