What you’re looking at

This is an advertisement page from a pulp magazine, featuring a black-and-white photograph of a woman in 1940s-style clothing posing on what appears to be a bench or ledge. She wears a wide-brimmed black hat, short-sleeved white blouse, and dark skirt. The accompanying text humorously explains that "THE HAT IS LARGE in order to protect mi-lady's nether limbs from the hot sunshine. No fooling!" The ad appears to be promoting either hats or summer fashion wear, using suggestive imagery and comedic copy typical of pulp magazine advertising from this era. A signature appears in the lower right corner of the photograph.
