Another visually stunning shot of the seductive Julie (Shearing) from Solo No.4 (1958) by Harrison Marks. There is something about the make-up and highlights in the hair that give her a Cruella de Vil sort of look :)
Helena McGuire: All Decked Out!
I’ve seen this shot and others from the same set of 35mm colour slides a few times before, but they were always very bad quality and didn’t seem to stand the test of time very well. That was until I got sent several of Helena McGuire and another model posing on a very 1960’s sun lounger exposing her body and magnificent bush to the sun, despite the fact it’s in a studio!
Carol Perry – A Cheeky One at The Dog & Duck! (Original)
I couldn’t resist this shot of Carol Perry sent over by member Whyriley, who used to run a photographic studio back in the 1960’s and 70’s. Carol was one of his models, but unsure if she was professional or amateur, but very photogenic and this shot of the two little toys balancing on her nice round boob is very cheeky! Thanks to Whyriley for sharing some of his work with me here :)
Ann Austin: Sleeping Beauty!
An original print of Ann Austin, apparently asleep in bed, but with the sheet down to give us a flash of one of her magnificent boobs! There is something quite voyeuristic about this shot and seeing Ann’s boob as she sleeps, which I assume was the point of the shot. I have several other shots from this set and the whole premise of the set is Ann sleeping nude between those silk sheets, slowly waking up and getting out of bed to reveal more of her glorious body in different poses. :)
Bobby Shaw: A Furry Outlook!
Bobby Shaw (Laurie Sands aka Julie Desmond) posing for Harrison Marks kneeling on a sheepskin rug in front of that bizarre background. Every time I see it, I’m reminded of the yellow brick road for some reason! Fabulous shot of Bobby showing off her lush bush, and from the same set as this shot. Thanks as always to Kevin for this shot of Bobby from an original negative. :)
Figure Photography by Philip Gotlop (1950’s)
Thanks to Paul from Firebird London I have a growing collection of nude studies by Philip Gotlop. British photographer Philip Gotlop started writing photography manuals in the 1940’s and 50’s. His titles included professional manuals, practical guides and studies on nude photography and the female figure. But it his work later in his career he is probably more well known for, as in the 1960’s his lens was more often pointed at the era’s entertainers, such as The Beatles, Cilla Black, Cliff Richard, Neil Sedaka, Johnny Cash, The Moody Blues, The Kinks, David Essex, Liberace and TV personalities such as David Frost and many others.
This collection is of over 250 prints of Gotlop’s nude studies and vary in size from 8½”x 6½” up to 10″x 8″ or larger. Many of the models are unknown, but all are shot in very classical nude poses, with the odd unconventional shot! I thought i’d share a few here to as they are very classical and see if people enjoy them?

Big Things Ahead!
A big day in the UK yesterday as I’m sure everyone knows (Unless you were on a remote island somewhere, or is that us now!) Regardless of views, today is a new day with lots of unknowns ahead. What is not unknown is that whatever happens going forward a nice big pair of tits always makes the day seem that much better!
This delicious pair belong to Jackie Maddern from Girl illustrated Vol.5 No.22 (1972) and she has plenty on show to distract you from anything! Anyway onwards and upwards I say and as Corporal Jones would say ‘Don’t Panic Mr Mainwaring!’
Lorraine’s Hippy Look! (Original)
For some reason I really like this shot of Lorraine Burnett! I don’t know if it’s the hair (wig?) or the way she is posing her body, but I like it. I don’t think it’s the hair, so it must be the curves and pose and probably the fact you can’t see her face fully :)
