Dedicated to the published work of Harrison Marks & other prominent photographers of the 1950's, 60's and early 70's. Along with popular glamour models such as June Palmer, Pamela Green, Dawn Grayson and others
A wonderful shot of a familiar model with an unfamiliar name showing us how good she looks in PJ’s! It is of course Angela Duncan, but these 10 x 8 prints were advertised under the name Dily Rubens, which is a new name to me. I have a few other shots of Angela posing in the short blonde wig, but always thought she went under the name Trudi (Trudy) Pink for those shots? They do all seem to be from the same location, so possibly the same shoot, but not 100% sure?
I love a good mystery normally, but sometimes recognizing the face (and body) of a model, but not remembering her name can be frustrating! This model is one example, as I’ve published one of my own negatives by Harrison Marks here before, but was unable to name her. Now I’ve been sent a full set of the same model posing and stripping with a bamboo ladder, but again it was driving me made as to who she was!
Well by chance today I was looking back through my video’s and noticed this post of ‘Brides in The Bath – Part 2’ and damn me, but there she is in the image and video (2:47) as a can-can girl! Then coincidence number two, I was looking through a copy of Nature’s Intention Vol.1 No.2 and came across these shots of Danielle Denese. Bugger me it seems to be the same model in all of them, so have I identified her as Danielle Denese? My track record of identifying models isn’t bad, but I would say this is one of those 50/50 shots, as the hair, body and facial features match, but I have very few named images of Danielle to actually reference.
I’m going with them all being the same model and it being the model named as ‘Danielle Denese’ by Harrison Marks, because there’s no guarantee that’s her name, or she didn’t model under another name? So one more off the unknown list unless anyone can prove otherwise. :)
The start of a very bizarre little set of images of June Simpson posing nude in and around the edge of a red paddling pool! This comes from an Esquire colour slide set of 8 slides and was set No.48 featuring two models in two settings. Four shots were of June Simpson in a garden setting as above, and the other 4 were of another model in a rock and seascape setting. I have 3 out of the 4 slides of June with the paddling pool, but I have no idea who the other 4 slides featured.
An odd choice of prop in the red paddling pool, but who am I to complain as we get to see June naked in the shots. The weather or water looks like it’s a bit cold, as June’s nipples look very erect! No idea where this garden is located, but could well be Ewhurst with that lawn and flower border edging a driveway?
From Dawson Publishing Co. comes the cover of a small format magazine dedicated to Eve Eden, who also appears in tricolour on the front and back covers. There was a collection of these magazines, all titled ‘Presenting … Model Name’ and all under the guise of being a magazine for artists and photographers. Any excuse to see your favourite model nude!
Two fantastic female figures from the cover of Forms in Color Vol.1 No.3 (1966). Forms in Color was one of a number of continental magazines that regularly featured the work of Harrison Marks, with many of the images in it have not been retouched, unlike the UK versions. The magazine was produced quarterly and printed in Copenhagen from the mid-sixties, published by Edition Studia and the issues were printed with both German and English text, as did many continental magazines of that time.
This edition features Tina Graham (Christine Carter) on the cover and Jayne Tracey brining up the rear on the back cover!
A still of Dawn Grayson by Harrison Marks from the set of the 1969 feature film ‘The Nine Ages of Nakedness’. Dawn had a minor role in this film in story No.5 ‘The Cavaliers’ set in the 17th Century. The synopsis of this story is that while staying at the manor house of Sir Rupert, Harrison De Chandelier, a renowned painter of nudes, is asked to paint a portrait of the lady of the house. The lady of the house is Her Ladyship (Dawn Grayson), who then strips for the painter and poses nude as he proceeds to paint her. This gives the film ample opportunities to show Dawns nude body as she poses, so very little acting required, although she does say a few lines before getting her kit off!
An original image of Danielle Denese by Harrison Marks model posing suggestively on a snooker table! With her tits popping out of her bra and trousers and panties pulled down to reveal her very nice bum and the look on her face, it’s a very suggestive photo indeed! All sorts of titles spring to mind about cue’s, pockets and balls, like ‘Where do you want to plant your balls next?’ and so on. :)
A small but perfect set of shots of Gloria Lomax taken by Terry Sparks on a beach down in Devon in the summer of 1966. Terry sent this set of scans copied from his collection on SVHS tape, hence the lower size and quality, and didn’t think they would be worth sharing! I disagree as it’s Gloria Lomax and stuff we’ve never seen before from Terry, so always worth seeing regardless of size.
I love the first close-up shot of Gloria, with the shadows across her face and the water drops across her small, pert tits. A brilliant shot and I do wish I had a better copy of that one to enjoy, but I can’t complain. Thanks to Terry as always for a glimpse into his world back then.
A couple of shots of June Palmer from the Harrison Marks Kamera publication ‘The Fabulous June Palmer’. These shots from pages 6 and 10, show June sat posing on the Chinese Garden Set and you can just see parts of the large Chinese Dragon in the background.
