I would appreciate if someone can answer me on question - is there some topic where I can find or post material about nude vintage models for illustrators, comic book authors (mainly) and similar artists like this:

In theory, period is, as I know, pretty wide - from 1930 to 1956. It's reasonably safe to exclude his war years (although it can be some special, pin-up graphic or similar) and period before work on Flash Gordon; again, with that we still have 1933-1944 and 1946-1956.

Thank you.

Who is model posing for Alex Raymond? On his table there's drawing of Rip Kirby comic and she is named Bjulu Bestor (ex-YU transliteration; now not more in mandatory use in Slovenia nor Croatia). However, English script of her name should be close (see pronunciation).

Picture is somewhere dated in 1949. It's safe to say that period is between 1946 and 1956 (from creating Rip Kirby to Raymond's death).

Pronunciation of Bjulu Bestor (easiest I can made up):
- BJU- like BU in "Buick";
- -LU like LOO in "Looney Tunes";
- BEST- like BEST in "best";
- -OR like OR in "or", but with "hard r".

Thank you.

Based on data I have at least some (probably all, almost sure) of this girls should be born before 1936.

Thank you!
