Pamar Colour Slides Catalogue (1957)

I’ve been after a copy of this Pamar Colour Slides catalogue for some time now and thanks to Paul from Firebird Records I now have a copy to share. Pamar Productions Ltd was formed by both Pamela Green and Harrison Marks in June, 1957 (Even before Kamera No.1 was published) with both being equal partners in a venture to provide quality 35mm slide sets of the models. This catalogue shows 81 sets produced under the Pamar title, but these shouldn’t be confused with slide sets titled ‘Harrison Marks Colour Slides’ and produced by Kamera Cine Films, of which there were 70 sets produced. Another difference between the different slide sets was that originally the Pamar sets came in a small box, whereas the later sets were sold in a flat transparent plastic wallet.

Having now looked through this catalogue I realize I have over 30 individual Pamar slides in my collection, but unfortunately no full sets! It seems that over the years these sets have been broken down and sold on individually, with many not even having the original grey cardboard holder, just the colour negative itself.

Tied Down Diane!

The classic 1950s beauty of Diane Clare by Harrison Marks. Throw in a couple of rugs and some rope, and you have a typical recipe for a posed GHM shot back in the day. This is no exception, and Diane looks stunning laying there with rope wrapped around her body.

This shot actually appeared in the early edition of Kamera No.2 P27 (1957), along with 2 other shots of Diane.

 

June Simpson – Blonde Ambition! (Original)


I love June Simpson and just can’t get enough of her curves and blonde ambition. This is one of my favourite shots of her that was originally published in Kamera Special No.1 P90 (1957). This is from an original print sent over by Kevin and much better quality.

I just love the way she is sat back on her heels showing off that great round arse as she slightly arches her back. A perfect blonde with a perfect body from the master.

Last shot of the week, so hope everyone is doing OK and staying safe 🙂

Kamera No.1 Cover (1957)

At last I’ve managed to get a copy of Kamera No.1 (1957) by Harrison Marks and featuring Pamela Green as Rita Landre on the cover. It’s not in perfect condition, as the cover is coming slightly away from the rest of the magazine, but what do you expect for a magazine that’s 60 years old this year! The rest of the magazine is in very good condition with all pages crisp and clear, although for a first edition it was only 32 pages long compared to later editions at 48 pages.

Pamela Green as Rita Landre on the cover looks fabulous in her prime kneeling on that red bedspread. Another gap in my Kamera collection filled, only another 32 editions out of 89 to go!

Lynn Shaw – Watch With Mother?

Lynn Shaw, looking rather stunning as she sits in front of the TV nude, from a restored silver gelatin photo sent over by Girlymag. Not your typical 1950s ‘Watch With Mother’ content, but it sure would have made my teatime viewing more entertaining than a bit of Andy Pandy or The Flower Pot Men!!

This photo comes from a set of 5 glossy 5½ by 3½ prints advertised in the ‘Harrison Marks Glamour Guide‘ on Page 8, Set No.235 and as a 3D set on Page 18, Set No.71

A Very Stern Looking Ms Burnett (1957)

Lorraine Burnett looking very stern on the cover of Kamera No.4 (1957) by Harrison Marks. Obviously not impressed by something as she stands there hands on hips thrusting her ample bosom forwards. Although you can’t take her too seriously stood like like with very little on, now can you?

 

Unknown Classic Beauty (1950’s)

Another unknown classic beauty by Harrison Marks with a stunning figure and a rather nice set of tits! This model although unknown does seem to have appeared multiple times throughout early GHM photo sets advertised in the Harrison Marks Glamour Guide and Kamera.

She appears twice in Kamera No.1 & No.2 and once in Kamera No.3 & No.5 all in 1957. Similar images of her are also reproduced as sets of 5 glossy 5½ by 3½ prints in the Harrison Marks Glamour Guide under set numbers 310 to 312, 329 to 332 and No.354. You could also see her in several stereoscopic sets from No.1 -7 and No.42 – 45, again ordered via the HM Glamour Guide for the princely sum of ten shillings.

The above shot seems to be one of the 5 shots from set No.311, and I also have partial sets of No.329 and No.354. A stunning woman that seems to have only appeared for a brief period in 1957, but again I have no idea as to whom she is? Yet another glorious body to add to the unknown model list!

Enjoy the catalogue below and I hope it helps identify the slides and sets produced, as I know it helped me, as I now have to go back and tag the slides I’ve collected to the set name and number. All good fun!

Jean Spaul – Not Just The Office Girl (1957)

A very elegant looking Jean Spaul (Sporle) from Kamera No.4 P4 (1957) who not only posed nude for many of the early Kamera editions, but also got the job as one of the girls in the office at Harrison Marks studio. What an office stunner!
