Campy and sexy illustration of two French chorus girls for the mid-century Avon paperback Les Girls. Story of the Folies Bergere Unsigned and unframed. George Ziel was a prolific illustrator for paperback romance books in the 1950's - 1970's. He was born Jerzy Zielezinski in 1914, in Poland. In 1938 he was sent to Dachau concentration camp by the Nazis. Born from that experience, Ziel published two books of his sketches.
