This substantial 32" x 16" Brown & Bigelow calendar features an idyllic, heartwarming scene of Joe DiMaggio teaching a freckle-faced boy how to swing a bat. Known for their iconic pin-up art by Gil Elvgren and Earl Moran, Brown & Bigelow applied that same rich illustrative style to this classic sports series, which also included legends like Ty Cobb and Honus Wagner. This particular calendar is complete for the year 1957, with June displayed beneath the oversized artwork. Despite the presence of original mailing/folding lines, the piece presents in spectacular NM condition, retaining its vivid color, clarity, and nostalgic charm. A beautifully preserved example from a beloved series—combining sports history and mid-century Americana art in one impressive display piece.
