Michael Shayne’s Long Chance, paperback cover 1964

This illustration by Robert McGinnis, created in 1964, is a classic example of the pin-up style popular in the mid-20th century. The woman in the image, depicted from behind, is dressed in a revealing bikini and high heels, exuding a sense of glamour and sensuality. McGinnis's use of bold colors and striking lines emphasizes the figure's curves and the alluring nature of the subject. The setting, a casual outdoor scene with a pineapple and a glass of drink, adds a touch of tropical allure to the composition. The artwork served as a cover illustration for the paperback novel “Michael Shayne’s Long Chance”, likely appealing to a male audience.
