A Brush with Pat Davis


Pat Davis by Harrison Marks, posing on the loft set as she sits on a crate and toys with an artist’s paint brush! Although images of Pat taken by GHM appear throughout several editions of Kamera, including No.19 and No.20 (1958/59), then later editions. Pat only posed for Harrison Marks on one occasion during the Winter of 1958/59, probably not long before shots similar to the one above appeared in Kamera No.19.

A fabulous pose from Pat and her legs seems to be oiled, but the rest of her doesn’t, although I have seen many shots of her covered in oil as well :)

The Harrison Marks Glamour Guide (1950’s)


This one of the early glamour guides and showcases 1600 photos of various models in sets of 5 photos, including 252 sets of 5½ by 3½ glossy photo’s, 72 sets of Stereoscopic sets and a special set of 10 Rita Landre prints. Looking through all the sets listed, I see I have a fair few in my collection, but probably very few full sets, although it’s difficult to actually say as you only see one image from each set. Some very familiar early GHM models listed and some from my unknown list. :)

The full guide can be seen here.

A Cheeky One From June Wilkinson


June Wilkinson posed nude kneeling on a chair from a set of 5½  by 3½ glossy prints of June by Harrison Marks. These were advertised in ‘The Harrison Marks Glamour Guide’ under set No.358 and cost the princely sum of ten shillings per set, but worth every penny, I would say!

In Focus by Harrison Marks

‘In Focus’ was another Kamera style pocketbook that Kamera Publications launched in 1957. As far as I can ascertain there were 21 issues produced, with the final issue being published sometime in 1964. The content and images used are again very similar to that of Kamera, with photo’s taken of the models used across both publications. There are a lot of well known models used, including early Pamela Green/Rita Landre shots, but also a few more unknown models appearing.

Listed below are covers of all editions that I currently have in my collection (Thanks to Firebird London), but you will notice that No.1, No.16 and No.19 are missing, so if anyone has a decent large copy of those I’d appreciate a copy? You will also notice some familiar models and figures appearing on the covers and I can name all but a few. So, again if anyone knows who the models are on No.8, 10, 12, 17 and No.20 please do let me know.

Sliding with Erica (1959)


Erica sliding or leaning against a curved slope from Solo No.9 P29 (1959) by Harrison Marks. It looks like the baby oil may have been out and used again, as she seems to be having trouble staying on that slope!

The cover of Études Moderne by Harrison Marks (1950’s) featuring Pamela Green with short dark hair. This was an early GHM publication featuring 32 pages of nude studies, mostly Pamela Green as herself with short dark hair, blonde or as Rita Landre, but with the odd other model interspersed amongst the Pam shots. Thanks to Firebird Records for a copy of this fantastic early Harrison Marks publication

Two shots of Diane Hedges nude and oiled from restored silver gelatin photo’s sent over by Girlymag. Taken and distributed in the late 1950’s Diane’s body and curves look fabulous with that glossy sheen, especially those boobs!
