Auction History Result 5b0231 ESQUIRE calendar 1957 Chiriaka, Michael, Ward Brasitt art of sexy dressed women, ultra rare! Date Sold 9/26/2023 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Calendar (measures 12" x 15" [30 x 38 cm]) (Learn More) Esquire ("The Magazine for Men"), the magazine that was essentially a precursor of Playboy, which meant that it was filled with scholarly articles on a wide variety of subjects, but which also had pictures and artwork of sexy women (in the 1940s, they had art by Alberto Vargas, and Ernest Chiriacka in the 1950s). Once Playboy kind of took over that market, Esquire became more of a literary and scholarly magazine, with less emphasis on overt sex, but still aimed specifically at men (especially upscale ones). Artist: Chiriaka, Michael, Brasitt Important Added Info: Note that we have never auctioned this Esquire calendar before! In the 1940s, Esquire made calendars that they sold through the magazine and were contained in printed envelopes. Apparently, in the mid 1950s, they started creating their calendars for local businesses (with a metal strip at the top), and this one was used in 1957 by a company called Corset Accessories, and overprinted with their business information at the bottom of each of the six pages (there are two months per page). However, the calendar itself has a 1955 copyright. If anyone knows more about this, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Condition: good. Learn More about condition grades
