Hold It (vintage pinup digest magazine, 1950s)

Marr Publishing Co., 1950s. Very Good. V2. Vintage nude pinup digest magazine featuring British model Pat Ward, posing in heels, hose, animal print, bathing suits, drapes. "Loves the theatre and spends many hours preparing herself for the stage. Horseback riding, swimming and canasta...the Cha-cha which she loves," photographed by infamous unknown "Marno."Hundreds of similar digest magazines were produced by fly-by-night operations, mainly around New York, notably Burmel Publishing (Lenny Burtman's enterprise). Many were published as photography and/or art "studies" booklets, w/ technical camera data, exposure chart, & the standard emphasis on sexual liberation; early issues featured several models per issue & many maintain airbrushing techniques rolled over from nudist magazines, much of the posing naturally obscures otherwise censored areas. Still scarce institutionally. 32pp, 5.25 x 8.25 inches, B/W throughout, duochrome wrapper, saddle-stapled. Very Good overall, rubbing, price sticker to front. For mature, consenting audiences.
