In the artwork, a quintessential pin-up model is depicted, exuding an aura of 1960s glamour. The model, adorned in a yellow dress with white sandals, is seated on a red cushioned chair placed on what seems to be a ship deck, indicated by the nautical elements such as the porthole in the background. She is portrayed holding an envelope addressed to “Miss Sylvania,” with a radiant smile directed towards the viewer. Below the illustration, a calendar for December 1962 is presented, advertising “Radio Television Francaise” and listing various products related to Sylvania International. The calendar ensures a practical yet visually captivating experience, harmoniously blending commercial and aesthetic elements typical for the Kitsch style and pin-up genre popular during that era.
