E B Segner /
Ellen Barbara Segner
(?? - 2001)
One of the few female pin-up and glamour artists. Her women are out-going and outdoorsie, involved in the type of activities most artists reserved for men, from skiing to shooting. Still, despite her ability with sporting gals, she's best remembered for two children-centered icons: Little Miss Sunbeam (the spokesgirl for Quality Bakers' Sunbeam bread) and the Dick and Jane school readers. Other Children's books: God Gave Me Eyes, Children's Prayers, The Little White House, The Wild Dog of Edmonton. Calendar work for the Thomas D Murphy company. |

Story art (1930s) Segner - 010A
NOTE: Since we don't know when or where this painting was used, we can only guess at why Segner originally had a background of a ship at sea with a woman wearing a blue skirt (see left and bottom) but then switched it to a fetching commie red head holding a blonde baby.
