Description
Set of 6 vintage advertising ink blotter pin up cards by Gil Elvgren for Yellis Dairy in Anaheim, California. These were produced by Brown & Bigelow and include humorous "tongue-in-cheek" text to go with each picture. They likely date from the late 1940s to early 1950s.They measure about 3 3/8" by 6". This set of 6 blotter cards are Brown & Bigelow's reference numbers 36827-36832. I am offering 6 more similar blotter cards in this series by Brown & Bigelow in another listing this week - check my other ebay listings.
These are all in very good condition and have never been used as blotters. Just the slightest cupping to the paper (very minor). The cowgirl blotter (bottom left blotter in first picture) has a very faint stain on back that does not show through on the front (see last picture).

Elvgren (1914 – 1980) was an American painter of pin-up girls, advertising and illustration. Best known for his pin-up paintings for Brown & Bigelow, Elvgren studied at the American Academy of Art. He was strongly influenced by the early "pretty girl" illustrators, such as Charles Dana Gibson, Andrew Loomis, and Howard Chandler Christy. He was associated with Brown & Bigelow from 1945 to 1972.
