Bathtime With June Palmer (Original)

I’ve seen one shot from this set before and it was one of my first June Palmer shots I published over on Tumblr here, but here are two more from the set.


These are originals sent by John and obviously from 120 film and taken in the late 1960’s, but as John says the bottle of Miss Dior on the side of the bath might give a clue as to when the picture was taken. Any packaging experts out there to help identify the year?  I’m sure my gran had that wallpaper as well!  These images were in excellent condition and needed a slight pink tinge removing and some minors specks of dirt.


Finally, what the hell is that contraption on the wall in the bottom picture?

  1. they're great pictures, and, you know, in these days of 'seeing everything' these picture from the 60s still appeal to me more than anything else – black and white especially – maybe it's a generational thing

  2. I agree with you 100% and probably the exact reason why I'm doing this blog. I think with everything on display we've become sanitized to it a bit and these images take us back to a time where you had to use your imagination a little more!

  5. Very nice indeed. Thanks to John for taking and yourself for posting.Among her several splendid features, June's attractive auburn hair is shown to advantage here and it, seems to me, to be a bit longer than she wore it in the early 'Sixties. She appears to have had this slightly longer style with a slight flick-out at the ends around 1965, judging from other shots which appear to date from around then. Her hair seems to have been even longer in the late 'Sixties, so circa 1965 is my best shot at an approximate date.Alexei
