Fencer from 1947 Esquire Calendar

Title: Fencer from 1947 Esquire Calendar
Subject: Fencing in Popular Culture; Pin-Ups
Description: Calendar page of the mini 1947 "Esquire Girl Calendar." This Esquire mini calendar was a pocket-sized version of the larger wall calendar produced annually, and this particular February page was cut out of the whole accordion-folded calendar. The original painting of the fencer was painted in early April for the August 1942 edition of Esquire but was replaced by the "George Washington" figure which better suited the wartime fervor.
