Beauty Parade

Clarence Doore

Beauty Parade 1942 and was published by Robert Harrison. These images where created for men magazines. comparison to the men magazines that are around today many of the are photographic. I believe there was a limit to how much nudity was displayed where it was left to the creator imagination, giving us our own perception of beauty. Peter Driben was one of the Biggest Pin up illustrator of this time, where he would have been creating images of Beauty Parade to wink. Many of his images consist of Pen and Ink which is still common today to illustrators.
The Men's Adventure magazine cover take on a whole different role making the woman to look more domineering showing the was a start of equality.

More of these images can be seen the book which can be brought by clicking this link 1000 Pin-Up Girls
