This is an original 1943 Varga Girl Esquire calendar featuring pinup girl artwork by the master of the genre, Alberto Vargas.

This is a set of all 12 monthly calendar sheets each printed one side only and measuring about 12” x 9”. The plastic spiral binder that joined the calendar sheets together at the top and the blank cardboard backing piece have been removed and are not included so this lot is the 12 individual monthly calendar sheets and not the intact calendar. The lower left hand corner on the January calendar sheet shows a 19425 copyright by Esquire, Inc. and is printed “Paintings By Varga Verses By Phil Stack”.

These vintage original monthly sheets comprise the entire Esquire Varga Girl calendar for 1943. The holes for the plastic binder along the top edge are broken but the calendar sheets are otherwise in very good condition with moderate handling wear and some toning from age.  The August calendar sheet has a small stain near the lower lefthand corner of the sheet not really affecting the pinup girl artwork.    The top edges could be trimmed slightly to remove the spiral binder holes or matted over if you wanted to frame these. Overall condition is very good.
