Reviews

[James Crawford · Rating 5 out of 5]

The book notes he was born in 1896. A lot of the images feature long legs and large breasts. Roughly half of the images are nudes. Blondes constitute around 70% of the drawings while dark hair makes up about 20%.

One of the difficulties I had was determining the difference between red hair and blonde hair.

All the drawings are of white people. All the women are very attractive.

Greatest Playboy Artist

I’m 67 years old and I remember a lot of these from Playboy in my teen years. Vargas was an awesome realistic artist. Some of his characters look like a photo. He also
Had a great sense of humor some posters with extremely funny captions.
