An original Brown & Bigelow commissioned illustration presumably for a jewelers' calendar advertisement. Bill Layne was best known for his humorous "hillbilly" renderings which blended in shapely pin up girls and elves. During the later years of Brown & Bigelow's long run, Layne was one of their star illustrators.
