Cartoon bloomers, bikinis and baring (almost) all: A history of pin-up girls from demure 1900 to the racy Seventies

A new book, Dian Hanson's History of Pin-up Magazines, published by Taschen, tracks the pin-up girl's evolution from 1900 to 1969 through three volumes. 'The biggest change in pin-up from 1900 to 1969 is the loss of illustrated covers,' Mr Hanson told MailOnline. 'Up until WWII the majority of covers were painted. With the war shortages publishers struggled to keep publishing and cut expenses wherever they could. Abandoning costly cover artists was one such cut. At the same time, men became accustomed to photographic pin-ups during the war and preferred these more realistic representations of women afterwards.'
