Pretty Sharp

Gil Elvgren, Brown & Bigelow, November 1971, 230-304-11 This is one of the last ink blotters published as they were largely phased out after 1971. Calendar notepads featuring Gil Elvgren’s and other pin-up artists’ work continued to be published and are accessible collectibles as well.
