Cover of the April 1958 issue of Escapade: a staged gag photograph of a startled window washer outside a photo-studio window where a model poses in lingerie beside a view camera, the scene framed by a brick wall.

PR-ESC-1958-04-001

Staged humor cover built around a photography-studio scene. Cover lines list Thomas Wolfe, William Saroyan, and a Lili St. Cyr exclusive — the literary-names-plus-glamour formula this title is remembered for.
