June Russell – Femme Cover (1958)


Crushing corsets is June Russell on the cover of the Harrison Marks publication Femme. The first issue of Femme appeared in the summer of 1958. It had a Harrison Marks’ photograph of June Russell on the cover, but it featured photographs ‘from Britain, America, and the Continent’ of nude and seminude female models by other photographers as well as GHM himself. The 1958 edition had no issue number and may have been a one-off, but another issue appeared some time later. From this issue, ‘Femme’ reverted to the tried and tested 7″x 5″ pocketbook size and appeared as The New Femme No.1.

A stunning shot of June Russell in white corset, pink frilly knickers and fishnets and the floral wallpaper makes an appearance in many of GHM’s early shots.

Pamela Green – Red & Blue (1958)


A restored shot of Pamela Green by Harrison Marks from a 35 mm colour slide taken back in 1958. Nothing too risqué about the shot, but love the pose with her curved hip to one side like that and that bountiful bust popping out between that blue leotard. A fabulous contrast between Pam’s red hair and the blue outfit as well. A classic 1950s pose that will have surely adorned the pages of an early Fiesta magazine.

Unfortunately the slide is a bit damaged, so the image isn’t as crystal clear as it could be, not that it detracts from the overall view :)

Julie – A Peach of a Shot!


I original published a version of this shot of Julie (Shearing) from Solo No.4 P13 (1958) here as it was such a good shot. Well now I have a copy of the original negative scan giving much more clarity. What made this shot so stunning was the view of that perfectly peachy arse and the way her hips glide into her hourglass waist, which is only highlighted more in this shot, as if you look closely in the larger version for members you can even see the fine hairs on her back and that arse, making it even more peachy! Another interesting point is in the original the heel of her fishnet has a hole in it, but the magazine version has been fixed and not quite sure how they did that back then!

A stunning version of Julie and her peachy arse :)

Face It, Tiger… You Just Hit The Jackpot!! (1958)


An appropriate title to this image of an unknown model photographed by Harrison Marks for Kamera No.7 (1958). The tiger skin rug seems to be a prominent feature throughout this early edition of Kamera, not that it really distracts from the key focus on the image. For those geeks amongst us, the title is a reference back to The Amazing Spider-Man No.42 (November 1966) and the introduction of Mary Jane Watson (MJ). Who makes her first appearance in this comic and utters these words to Peter Parker/Spider-man when they first meet. It has become something of a catchphrase for the character.

Another small piece of trivia about me, is that I also used to collect comic books from the early 1960s onwards, including Spider-man. My collection exceeds over 6000 different comics and titles and if sold could buy the wife a new kitchen, but don’t tell her that!

Maria Deveraux – Sun & Sandcastles!


The stunning and sandy Maria Deveraux by Harrison Marks posing on a beach on location in and around the Isles of Scilly. Taken in 1958 during a visit to the islands, there are many similar shots of Maria posing on the beach that were published in ‘Kamera on Location’. This shot didn’t seem to make the cut, but comes from a scan of the original negative taken at the time and worth of any publication. Another beach beauty. :)

Looking Up at Thelma (1958)


A topless view of Thelma from Kamera No.11 P19 (1958). Taken in what appears to be in the living room of GHM’s flat, as we can see that familiar diamond wallpaper and horse picture in the background.

Thelma – A Taste of The Exotic! (1958)


A nude kneeling view of Thelma from Kamera No.11 P23 (1958). Taken in what appears to be in the living room with the floral wallpaper background, but is actually a studio set! I’ve still got very little information on this exotic looking beauty and her Latino looks, unless anyone else has uncovered anything?

The Tasty Lan Fah Lee


A stunning view of Oriental model Lan Fah Lee by Harrison Marks, taken circa 1958. She appears sporadically through early Kamera editions and once in Kamera Special No.2 (1958). This is from a silver gelatin print and a superb shot of her and one of the best I have seen. Love the way she pushes those tits up between her arms and is used to good effect by many models, but don’t think they need much help or support.  :)
