Seems to me there were modeling agencies in the 1950s, or at least they had started by sometime in that decade...perhaps cheesecake photos were less likely to gain models thus...
Eileen Ford (née Otte; March 25, 1922 – July 9, 2014) was an American model agency executive and co-founder, in 1946, with her husband, Gerard "Jerry" Ford, of Ford Models, one of the earliest and internationally best known modelling agencies in the world.
Fashion photography (Irving Penn was one of the more famous of the photographers of the time) also presented some stunning images, albeit somewhat less suggestive. This is a slide show of that work, but each image loads much to slowly: http://content.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1929105_1964889,00.html
