A Surprised Lyn Hamilton!

Another unknown model has been identified, again by Jeff.  This time it’s Lyn Hamilton appearing in Carnival Spring Special , 1958 (Top) and the original shot I posted of her in Kamera Special No.1 (1957).  Another unknown off the list, Thanks Jeff!

June Simpson – A Conservatory View! (1958)

What a pose from June Simpson, showing off that fantastic figure and rear to good effect in this shot, with her ached back highlighting the curve of her bum even more! Taken in the conservatory at Pamela Green’s parent’s house in Kent by Harrison Marks and appearing in Kamera No.16 (1958). Sometimes it’s the obscure poses that tend to stimulate the mind, more than the more obvious shots!

Double Top! Kamera No.18 Cover (1959)


You can’t get much better than this as a cover shot from Harrison Marks for Kamera! Not one but two naked blonde beauties in the form of Pamela Green and June Simpson on the cover of Kamera No.18 (1959). The pose from June Simpson and angle that she’s stood just show off her figure and that great curvy bum to perfection and then there next to her is Pam looking as serene as ever! One of my top 5 Kamera covers, I think, and taken at Pam’s parent’s house in Kent, of all places.

Thelma by Harrison Marks (1958)

Someone once asked if I had any shots of Thelma by Harrison Marks and at the time I only had one poor shot of her in my collection. Well that has now been rectified as I now have several good shots of her from Kamera No.11 (1958), including the colour centrefold shot of her above. A dusky Latin beauty that I know very little about, other than she posed for GHM in early editions of Kamera.

This shot comes from Kamera No.11 my latest acquisition and although complete and in good condition for it’s age the pages were splitting around the rusty staples.  I’ve restored colour and obviously removed the staple marks and a few scratches, but a fantastic colour shot of Thelma and an appearance of the Leopard skin rug again!

The Cartoon Style of Bill Ward

Another unrelated post, but more 1950’s cartoons from Bill Ward an artist that has a unique style and one that appeals to me!  I like the use of the black on sepia with white to enhance parts of the image and the drawing style of the females ;)  There is a theme on the images below if you can’t already guess, on the phone and spanking! 
 
The tenuous link to this site is that these cartoons appeared in publications from the Humorama line such as Jest, Gaze, Stare, Snappy, Romp, Cartoon Parade and Gee-Whiz, along with fairly tame photo’s of models such as Eve Eden and Margaret Nolan.  Bill’s cartoons regularly appeared on the covers of Gee-Whiz through the late 1950’s and his unique style is easily identifiable.

Connoisseurs Choice Vol.4 No.1 Cover Featuring June Palmer


A small 14 by 21 cm (5½ by 8¼ inches) magazine consisting of 24 pages of mostly full page photo’s of models nude, topless and in various types of lingerie.   Undated but probably late 1950s, and this copy contains 4 full page shots of June Palmer that I’ve not seen before (I’ll scan & publish them soon!)

There are also some great adverts for photo sets and models for hire with some well known faces, such as Lorraine Burnett and Virginia Green to name two!
