Apparently the term Pinup girl was first recognized in the English language way back in 1941, but it would seem that in practice it has been documented even further back than this to at least sometime in the 1890s and maybe even before that.

Other famous pinups were often real artwork and they would depict an idealized version of what many at the time thought was the typical really beautiful or most attractive woman of the time.
