An unlikely red headed pin up girl fencing in her lingerie is the star attraction of this early rare surviving Gil Elvgren original pin up painting titled “Foil Proof.” Not sure lingerie offers the best protection during a sword fight, but this luscious lady is sure a treat for the eyes. Created for the Louis F. Dow calendar company of Saint Paul, Minnesota, this image appeared in calendar form and as a mutoscope card, and the original was recently discovered by our gallery after being presumed lost or destroyed for decades.
