What The Photographer Saw – Pamela Green (1952)

On Monday I published a single image of Pamela Green and a Soldier by Zoltan Glass, which was followed up with the full article from Lilliput Magazine in December 1952 from Simon.  Anyone that looked through the full article will have noticed a reference to Pamela appearing in an earlier edition of Lilliput that same year.

I now have that earlier article and the six images of Pamela by six different photographers of the time.  The photographers included Roger Wood, Alan Duncan, Philip Gotlop, Philip Boucas, Angus McBean and my particular favourite of the lot Joan Craven.  The article appeared in Liiliput Magazine, September – October 1952 and I’ve included the cover for completeness. Thanks as ever to Simon for the scans from his collection!

The Cartoon Style of Bill Ward

Another unrelated post, but more 1950’s cartoons from Bill Ward an artist that has a unique style and one that appeals to me!  I like the use of the black on sepia with white to enhance parts of the image and the drawing style of the females ;)  There is a theme on the images below if you can’t already guess, on the phone and spanking! 
 
The tenuous link to this site is that these cartoons appeared in publications from the Humorama line such as Jest, Gaze, Stare, Snappy, Romp, Cartoon Parade and Gee-Whiz, along with fairly tame photo’s of models such as Eve Eden and Margaret Nolan.  Bill’s cartoons regularly appeared on the covers of Gee-Whiz through the late 1950’s and his unique style is easily identifiable.

Striking a Pose With June Palmer (Original)

Ah what to say! Another more formal/artistic pose from a young June Palmer sent through by John.  This is an earlier one of June (Late 1950’s?) and shows off her curves again to perfection.  I’ve said it before, but these poses just can’t be beaten today and the likes of June and Pamela Green just knew instinctively how to pose to get the best shot!  An art seemingly lost in today’s instant world of point and shoot!

An Oiled Della Fox

A nude and oiled Della Fox by Harrison Marks.  Fantastic shot enhanced by the reflections caused by the oil!  Probably published in early issues of Kamera, but re-published in ‘Magnificent Models No.1’

The Welcome Return of Miss Pamela Green

After posting this shot earlier today I knew someone would be able to identify where the image came from or who took it and as usual Simon came up trumps!  Not only did he identify the image as taken by Zoltan Glass, but he scanned and sent me the original article below!

The following set came from Lilliput Magazine December 1952, Vol 32 No. 1 Issue 187, so my initial guesstimate wasn’t far off!






Thanks must go to Simon for scanning this from his own personal Pam archive :)

Rosina Revelle

Not one of GHM’s models but still a well photographed young lady from the late 1950’s.  A well developed chest cut off in it’s prime, when her parents realized the type of modelling she was doing and put an abrupt stop to it! What a shame, as I’m sure she would have had an illustrious career had she continued, or should I say I saw ‘Big’ things ahead for her!
