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
Two shots of Maxine Ellis from Fiesta magazine (Nov 1956) posing with a multicoloured crochet blanket, used in various ways to cover her modesty for some reason. Taken by Harrison Marks these typical shots for Fiesta at that time, before moving to the slightly more risqué topless views.
Angela Duncan as Trudi Pink (Trudy Scott) giving us a flash of her stocking tops and big tits as she poses at the piano. She can tickle my ivories any time, looking like that!

Another unknown GHM model that again looks familiar, but then they all look familiar to me now, but I can’t place her? Posing in the window of Ewhurst or Walden this beautiful unknown model (No.41) is giving her small pert boob a squeeze, as she shows off her fantastic bush and the curves of her hips to good effect. Anyone know who she is, so we can put a name to the curve of those hips?

Anna Verdi as Nanette Pouchard from France, appearing as a woodland houri in Heels and Hose Vol.3 No.3 Quarterly edition (1961) covering April/May/June. I had to look up what Houri meant as I hadn’t got a clue with that one, but it means a voluptuously beautiful young woman, or nymph both very apt! This scan along with several others come from Oldtimeerotica over on Tumblr, so thanks to Ads for allowing me to share his scans here.
I also noticed looking through the scans that a number of Harrison Marks models appear in the same magazine, but again under different names, including Dawn Grayson, Cleo Simmons and Lena Ellis to name three. I’ll post those pages soon as well.
A two page advert from a photographic magazine in 1959 (title unknown) offering the delightful services of a young June Palmer. I do like a bit of memorabilia of June and there were a couple of lines that made me chuckle in this advert, ‘A Very Good Model Indeed’ is very understated and I love the old style telephone number that uses words and numbers. I also like the fee per hour of £1 10 6, which works out in today’s prices as about £85 an hour. For an hour photographing June cheap at half the price and worth every penny. I know others have photographed June at various times throughout her career including John, so I’m curious what did they pay for the privilege of shooting June?
Jayne Tracey on the cover of 1960s glamour magazine ‘Bounce’. Loving all the ‘Mr T’ gold chains round her neck and the massive hair!
A restored 1950s silver gelatin photograph that on a first look I thought it was young Marie Deveraux, but after looking at it for longer I’m not sure. The facial features a very similar, but the boobs look different from all the shots I have of Marie, but we know how the body develops and changes as you mature, so it could be her? I know it is an early Harrison Marks photo, so is it her or just a good resemblance?

An unusual black and white shot of Dawn Grayson (Kay Kirkham), in that it’s of her face only. This is a scan of an original 35mm negative from a seller over in the US and hasn’t been cropped in any way, but clearly shows the sculpted beauty of Dawn’s face. With her hair pinned up it’s a beautiful portrait, enhanced by the thick black eye make-up and perfect lines of her lips and brows. Sometimes it’s not always about a nude body such as this shot, but having seen one other shot from this set that I missed out on, I know she was nude from the neck down :)
Note: This is an image from an original negative and subject to this copyright notice, but can be individually shared as long as the image remains unaltered and this website is acknowledged as the source.
A scan of a colour transparency of Hazel Taylor posing in the bedroom taken by Harrison Marks. Loving the golden bedknobs and small portable TV in the background, but more importantly, a great shot of a nude Hazel. Hazel is one of those models that was very natural down below and in other images I’ve posted her impressive bush is on display for all to see. Unfortunately, a strategically placed hand deprives us of such a view in this shot, but the rest of her is equally enticing. Thanks to Kevin for sharing Hazel from his archive.
The start of a new set of photo’s sent through by John from a 35 mm filmstrip containing 37 various images on June in the red stockings. This is a more mature June with the fuller figure and bosom and full hairy bush on view, as she poses in the studio.
It’s unknown as to the place or date that of these shots, but looking at June, I’d have an educated guess at the early 1980s. Still a fantastic shot of an older June, and even at this age (40’s) she still had it! More of the ‘Red Stocking Strip’ to come soon, and thanks as always to John for a remarkable new set of June.
