J Frederick Smith
(19?? - 19??)
Smith was one of a group of pin-up artist who were drafted by Esquire to replace the solo stretches of George Petty, Alberto Vargas, and Al Moore. Not only did Smith provide pin-up art, but he was also employed doing a series of memorable articles for which he supplied pretty girls and the occasional guy. He also handled more family-oriented fare with Esquire's sister mag, Coronet, usually doing the covers. His girls also graced ads for Cannon Nylons. In the 1960s, the artist switched almost exclusively to photography.
