George Petty (1894 - 1975) was a popular pinup artist from the 1930's through the 1950's. His "Patty Girl" centerfolds graced the pages of Esquire magazine. They also appeared on calendars from Esquire and the Rigid Tool Company. Here's a selection of Petty Girls from 1939 to 1956.
Petty put a little more "meat on the bone" of his girls, compared to Vargas, who usually aimed for the svelte look. It makes them a bit more realistic.
