Maria Stinger goes down in history as Bunny Yeager's first professionally published model. The pair would work together frequently in the years after, with Maria appearing in men's magazines such as Cavalier and Rogue. Their work together contributed to the rise of pin-up culture in the 1950s, and Yeager's photographs of Stinger are still celebrated as a classic example of mid-century glamour photography. Looking at these shots, that's no surprise.

This lot is accompanied by Maria Stinger's model release form.
