ARTIST: GEORGE PETTY (1894-1975) SIZE: 27 3/4 x 38 3/8 in./70.5 x 97.5 cm PRINTER: DESCRIPTION: In today’s political climate of banning abortions and restricting access to birth control, it’s hard to believe that a birth control product would be so publicly advertised back in the 1940s. And yet, here we have a rare design for Va-Jel, a product that promises happiness to women by controlling their own reproductive health. George Petty was primarily a pin-up illustrator for magazines including Esquire and Fawcett; his images helped popularize the centerfold spread. (Modern; Beauty/Health; American)
