Description

February page of the 1955 Esquire pin-up calendar. The entire calendar features illustrations by George Petty, and the February image depicts a woman wearing a see-through leotard with a red heart on her breast, a fencing glove, and is bending a fencing sword against the ground. A short poem accompanies the image in the top left:

Your Valentine awaits the day
With tender heart and sharp epee.
(In case you'd planned on candy, Sirs,
Get the point - and bring her furs.)
