Thelma a Deceiving Look!


Another restored print from the Oxxbridge collection, but this time a Harrison Marks shot of Thelma laying on the leopardskin rug! This shot appears to have been taken in the late 1950s, as similar shots with the same rug appear in both Kamera No.4 (1957) and Kamera No.11 (1958), the latter featuring Thelma in colour on the cover and centre pages. Shots that appeared in Kamera and some that weren’t were also mass printed and sold as individual prints and postcards and sold (probably under the counter in plain brown paper bags!) to the discerning collector.

Terry Graham – Legs Firmly Closed!


A superb colour shot of Terry Graham from an original Harrison Marks negative, taken in the bedroom of one of his flat’s as the brass bedstead is very familiar! Terry looks as gorgeous as ever in this pose and no need to retouch this shot as her legs are firmly crossed to hide anything from peeking out, but being shaven obviously helps!

A Right Knees-Up With Thelma

A restored print of Thelma, posing with one knee up! I don’t recall seeing this image of Thelma appearing in Kamera itself, but a fab shot of her regardless. It appears to be in the living room of GHM’s flat, as we can see that familiar diamond wallpaper on the walls again!

A Little Tipple With Caroline (1967)

Caroline Coon posing at the bar in GHM’s flat with a very retro looking bottle of brandy! This shot appears in Kamera No.80 P36 (1967) and is one of seven shots of Caroline in this edition, posing around the living room of the flat.

Ann Wilson – Unusual Pond Life! (1965)


Ann Wilson posing in a pond from P33 of Solo No.44 (1965) by Harrison Marks and dedicated entirely to Ann.

I always assumed that this pond was in the grounds of Ewhurst Manor, but it wasn’t until Terry Sparks mentioned it, that the pond is actually in the grounds of Walden Manor, not Ewhurst. If you look on Google Maps the pond is no longer there, but if you were to look at the front of the house it would have been down the left-hand side, where a patio now stands between the house and a large tree.

I’ve also seen images of Monique Devereux, Barbara Halks and Stevie Vaughan standing in the same pond as well. It must have been bloody cold and not that clean, so makes you wonder how GHM talked them into getting in the pond!

Rita Landre – Nothing But Fur! (1959)


Pamela Green, posing as Rita Landre with nothing but a white fur coat for cover! Taken by Harrison Marks and published in the 1959 hardback book, P54 ‘Pamela – A Portrait in 58 Studies’, a beautiful shot of Rita with a quizzical look on her face.

Jennifer’s Uplifting Bedside View (Original)

A black and white shot of Jennifer Garland posing perched on a four poster bed by Harrison Marks, and one of several shots from this set. Taken in the studio it has the familiar bedding we’ve seen in other shots and a very uplifting view of Jennifer’s tits as she squeezes them together! A very odd shape to her right leg and thigh in this shot though, but I think it’s just the angle of the shot and position of her leg, rather than bad editing.

Wendy James – The Way of the Dragon


I’d forgotten I’d got this very colourful shot of Wendy James! Taken by Harrison Marks, it gives us a cropped topless view of Wendy looking away from the camera and posing in front of the Chinese Dragon on the Chinese Garden/Mandarin set.
