What is a Vintage Pinup?
A vintage pin up girl was a woman whose pulchritude would entice one to place a picture of her on a wall. The term was first attested to in English in 1941; however the practice is documented as going back at least to the 1890s. The "pin up" images could be cut out of magazines or newspapers, or be from postcard or chromo-lithographs, etc. Such photos often appear on calendars, which are meant to be pinned up anyway. Later, posters of "pin-up girls" were mass produced. One of the most popular early pin up girls was Betty Grable, a poster of whom was ubiquitous in the lockers of GIs during World War II.
