We purchased 5 wonderful old original Esquire Magazine Cartoon posters years ago and they have been in our personal collection. They are large, bright and beautiful. We have never seen them offered anywhere before, and really know nothing of their past history. They are by well known forties Esquires graphic illustrators, all unsigned.

This poster may be by well known African American illustrator E. Simms Campbell, graphic designer, poster artist, and cartoon artist, as it resembles his Esquire and his later "Cuties" work greatly. Do you know?

This American art deco poster shows a burly type gym trainer in tank top and sneakers coming to get his client out of the sauna. As he opens the old antique sauna door, it appears the sauna is empty. He is saying "Mr. Kipnis! Mr. Kipnis! Where are you?" The poster is archivally linen backed and ready for framing. We only have this one.

See all of our 5 vintage Esquire posters on our site at this link. Also a great Kipnis genealogy and Kipnis family piece.

Size: 28 x 40 inches
