About Turn ! by David Wright

About Turn! by David Wright, using a typical military-style double-entendre to entitle an image of a woman in lingerie looking over her shoulder at the artist. Wright produced a series of over 160 illustrations or pin-ups for The Sketch during the 1940's. David Wright's Lovelies proved hugely popular and adorned practically every military mess, bunker, dormitory or club room in the country during World War II
