Offered here is an original vintage January 1952 Esquire pin-up calendar page featuring artwork by Ernest Chiriacka.

This original calendar page includes the January 1952 calendar, a humorous verse, and the artist\'s printed signature. It is an authentic period publication, not a modern reproduction.
