Pinup girls is really a 'specific' part of erotic pictures. The community build around that subject are nostalgics, historians, art lovers. No need to fight against tons of JScript traps, usenet spammers, fishing keywords ..

Welcome to the Pin-Up Page, a web site devoted to the pin-up girls of
the 1940's and 50's. There's none of that gratuitous rubbish from the 60's onwards, merely the artistic masterpieces of the golden age of "girlie Mags".
Some galleries and major authors of that period : "Hairs, eyes, position and smile: We are in the fifties, ah, but where exactly?"
Time to feed my eyes ;)
I think the Mysterious Pinup style is really similar to the Gil Evgren's one. My humble newbie opinion :p
Maybe not only mine :
"Gil Evgren"

LOTS OF INTERESTING (SIDE TOPIC) LINKS (see footnote)
Then go to : http://scandolls.com/
myspinup definitely looks like the ones of Evgren ...
Where to find more ? As i said earlier, there is a huge archive site at :
www.thepinupfiles.com. With a Search Engine :)
Looking at the Evgren's galleries (4 ones). No sign of our reading girl.
No results with the atomz search engine too.
There are too much galleries to look at. I tried a few of them, but decided it was a dead-end.

One of the links appearing in the earlier resultz was the DMOZ directory :

Lets lurk again :)
http://mhassel.tripod.com/pin-ups/
This page is heavily under construction. Material is added weekly but the goal is set high so please be patient and check back often.
The main purpose of this site is to make available a large selection of pin-up paintings mainly from the 40's, 50's and 60's to studies in art, feministic theory etc.
And, and and ? :)
http://mhassel.tripod.com/pin-ups/dancona.htm
Bingo !! :) Better quality than the myspinup ;)
So, our author is : Edward D'Ancona
Back to the pinupfiles.com : IT WAS THERE ! i missed it !
damn noze ;)

http://www.thepinupfiles.com/dancona.html
Although D'Ancona was a prolific pin-up artist who produced hundreds of enjoyable images, almost nothing is known about his background. He sometimes signed his paintings with the name "D'Amarie", but his real name appears on numerous calendar prints published from the mid 1930s through the mid 1950s, and
perhaps as late as 1960.
The first company to publish D'Ancona pin-ups, about 1935 to 1937, was Louis F. Dow in St Paul. D'Ancona worked in oil on canvas and his originals from that time usually measured about 30 x 22 inches. His early work is comparable in quality to that of the young Gil Elvgren, who had begun to work for Dow in 1937. Because D'Ancona produced so much work for Dow, one might assume that he was born in Minnesota and lived and worked in the St Paul, Minneapolis area. It is known that he supplied illustrations to the Goes Company in Cincinnati and to several soft-drink firms, which capitalized on his works similarity to the Sundblom/Elvgren style, which was so identified with Coca-Cola.
During the 1940s and 1950s, D'Ancona superb use of primary colours, masterful brushstrokes, and painterly style elevated him to the ranks of the very best artist in pin-up and glamour art. His subject matter at this time resembled Elvgren's. Both enjoyed painting nudes and both employed situation poses a great deal. D'Ancona also painted a fair amount of evening-gown scenes, as did Elvgren, Frahm and Erbit.
By 1960, D'Ancona had moved into the calendar art field. Instead of doing pin-ups and glamour images, however, he specialized in pictures on the theme of safety in which wholesome policemen helped children across the street in suburban settings that came straight out of Norman Rockwell.
Biography borrowed and adapted from The Great American
Pin-Up by Charles G. Martignette and Louis K. Meisel.
woop woop, i was right :)
Note that the title is unknowed, that's why the research inside the atomz SE gave nothing. It is indeed a mysterious pin-up girl :)
No special 'trick' to resolve that hunt. A little of combing, always keeping the target in mind and a lot of zen noze.
