An original World War II era gouache illustration featuring a Marlene Dietrich-esque lovelorn pin up admiring her two enlisted men presumably stationed "over there, " as it were, in Europe.

Classic bad girl campy imagery which was used as art for a Mennen gift box for Men lithographed box for the set which is included in the sale. Signed Bischoff on the box (only, not on gouache artwork itself). This is by Herman E. Bischoff, an illustrator who worked for Esquire magazine and created covers for Liberty magazine during the 1940s-50s.
