Wow. I was going to ask how old this was, but you've answered that question. I would have guessed 1930s judging by the face, hair and breast size. It would be interesting to compare drawings like this by the decade to see how the popular conception of what is beautiful has changed over the years.
Unfortunately I don't have the actual magazine cover it came from, but looking at others that I do have I'd place it around 1938.

You will have that opportunity over the coming months.... [grin]
A little something to (hopefully) raise the temperature!

Hubba Hubba! Her face has the same kind of lines as the drawing my great aunt did in the 30's and 40's.
It's by Enoch Bolles - from the 1930's/1940's. It's a fantastic style - of which there will be more examples over the coming months.
