Folding pin-up advertisements promoted Fullbrook Holland and Bill Tull and Raymond Jones’ automotive repairshops in Salisbury, 1940-1950.

While popularized during World War II, pin-up modeling had its origins in burlesque shows in the Victorian era when performers pinned up revealing photographs to promote shows. There is much debate over whether these sexualized images are sexist or feminist in nature. Some see these depictions as objectifying women while others deem them to be empowering.
