This week on my "tribute to 50's illustration" blog, I'm looking at how illustrators dealt with the presentation of nude subjects. This was a reccuring phenomenom is mainstream magazines like the Saturday Evening Post and Good Housekeeping and added a bit of tittilation to the otherwise squeaky-clean offerings for which these magazines are remembered.
