June Palmer – Girl Illustrated No.37

As promised, June Palmer from the pages of Girl Illustrated Vol.4 No.37 (1970).  The magazine shows three monochrome pictures, where she is shown wearing unzipped trousers and has shoulder length hair. The single colour shot appears to be an older photograph. GI states that she is only rarely modelling at the time, but has returned to the pages by popular request. This would tie in with the published date of 1970 and JP’s ‘retirement’ from public modelling, until her re-appearance in 1977.

June Palmer Coloured From Girl Illustrated

It feels like a bit of a June Palmer day, not that there is anything wrong with that!  Another coloured version of June Palmer from my friend Oldiznewagain over on Tumblr and it always amazes me how good he gets the skin tones on these!

The original comes from Girl Illustrated magazine published in 1970 and is part of a set of 4 images and I’ll be publishing the full set of images later.

Bathtime With June Palmer (Original)

I’ve seen one shot from this set before and it was one of my first June Palmer shots I published over on Tumblr here, but here are two more from the set.


These are originals sent by John and obviously from 120 film and taken in the late 1960’s, but as John says the bottle of Miss Dior on the side of the bath might give a clue as to when the picture was taken. Any packaging experts out there to help identify the year?  I’m sure my gran had that wallpaper as well!  These images were in excellent condition and needed a slight pink tinge removing and some minors specks of dirt.


Finally, what the hell is that contraption on the wall in the bottom picture?

Getting Rural With Terry Graham

Terry Graham out and about on the farm and I couldn’t decide on the current title or ‘Making Hay With Terry Graham’ both corny I know!  The top image appeared in Parade No.1489 (22 June, 1968) as the centrefold, but I’m unsure as to if the other related images appeared in the same edition or elsewhere?

Lorraine Burnett & The Fan Coloured

Another fantastic coloured version from one of my original posts by Oldiznewagain. I know the colouring of old original black and white photo’s isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but this must be my favourite (for now!), as I love the choice of colours for the fan, gloves and sheet, they just make the image pop and stand out!

Excellent job as always Oldiznewagain!  Original Black and white version added for comparison.
