Nancy Roberts – Just a Sun Hat For Shade! (1959)


A stunning shot of Nancy Roberts posing on a beach with only a sun hat for shade. It comes from a photographic glass plate and was taken in September 1959 at the beach near Sheplegh Court, Devon, and the accompanying notes put Nancy at 20 years old in the shot.

What a body, what a smile, and thankfully I have several others of Nancy at the beach to share along with this. :)

Pat Davis: Puffed Perfection (1959)


I’ve seen this image doing the rounds on the Internet before, but not as good quality as this shot. This shot originally comes from Kamera No.19 P21 (1959) and is a wonderful close up of Pat’s particularly large puff areola, which she seems happy to show off.

June Palmer – Worth Every Penny!

A two page advert from a photographic magazine in 1959 (title unknown) offering the delightful services of a young June Palmer. I do like a bit of memorabilia of June and there were a couple of lines that made me chuckle in this advert, ‘A Very Good Model Indeed’  is very understated and I love the old style telephone number that uses words and numbers. I also like the fee per hour of £1 10 6, which works out in today’s prices as about £85 an hour. For an hour photographing June cheap at half the price and worth every penny. I know others have photographed June at various times throughout her career including John, so I’m curious what did they pay for the privilege of shooting June?

June Palmer – Miss TV Times Entry (1959)

This isn’t actually a new image of June as I published this image back in July 2013, but this is a much better quality image and comes from a new source that also provided some background to the shot. Another John (I’ll call him JAS!) and another huge fan of June that has his own enviable collection of June memorabilia. JAS has acquired his collection over the years from different sources, including June herself and also had the good fortune to have met and photographed June as well.

This particular shot was taken and submitted for the 1959 Miss TV Times competition and according to JAS the entry form signed by June is glued to the back of this image. I loved this shot when I first published it, but it’s even better when you have the background to a shot.  For completeness I’ve asked if JAS will scan the back so we can see the entry form, so hopefully I’ll be able to add that in due course.

A big thank you to JAS for sending this through along with the background and I look forward to seeing more of his June collection :)

Update: Thanks to JAS I’ve now included the hand written entry form from the back of the image below.

Raunchy Rita (1959)

A full on frontal view of Rita Landre (Pam Green) from Kamera No.19 (1959) as she looks down on you from above. In a strange erotic way it’s quite a domineering look she’s giving, as if to say look, but touch if you dare! I’d risk it :) The retouching on this shot is good for a change, as the way the shadows fall and the fact Pam was shaven all help reduce the retouching required on this shot.

Double Top! Kamera No.18 Cover (1959)


You can’t get much better than this as a cover shot from Harrison Marks for Kamera! Not one but two naked blonde beauties in the form of Pamela Green and June Simpson on the cover of Kamera No.18 (1959). The pose from June Simpson and angle that she’s stood just show off her figure and that great curvy bum to perfection and then there next to her is Pam looking as serene as ever! One of my top 5 Kamera covers, I think, and taken at Pam’s parent’s house in Kent, of all places.
