Jackie Miller (3 vintage adult pinup digest magazines, 1950s) de [Miller, Jackie] - 1950s

A-B-S / Liberty Dist. / Pearlite, 1950s. Very Good. Three vintage adult digest magazines featuring pinup model Jackie Miller, seen here in photographic studies wearing heels, hose, garters, elegant gloves, jewelry, studio sessions, several nearly nude poses. Miller was an East Coast native born early 1930s, lanky redhead w/ lush dimensions, appeared throughout the magazine market of the mid 1950s, would eventually do some noteworthy photo sessions w/ the Klaw siblings, often posing as a dominatrix in leather w/ whip. 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. Dreamé (V1 N1, ties to Liberty Distributing & Dante Publishing of Philadelphia, front/10pp, Judy O'Day 1pp, Bettie Page ads); Headline Models (Pearlite, front/centerfold/13pp, a few others, studio sessions); Presenting: Jackie Miller, New York's Newest Pin-Up & Figure Model (A-B-S, ties to Nu'Art, covers/centerfold/31pp smoking & applying cosmetics & smiling, Judy O'Day & Bettie Page ad).All 32pp, ~5.25 x 8.25 inches, color wrapper, B/W throughout. Very Good Plus overall. rubbing, light spine stress, brief price notations.Steve Sullivan, "Glamour Girls: The Illustrated Encyclopedia," p294, 1999; Jim Linderman, "Proto-Porn: The Art Figure Study Scam of the 1950s," 2012.
