June Palmer – Same Style, Different Hats! (1966)

Two shots of June Palmer on different magazine covers from the same photo shoot, but wearing different hats! The first is from Practical Photography (June 1966) and the second from the US publication Man Junior (November 1967). In both June is wearing a two piece white swimming costume and posing with a tulip in front of a 1950’s bull fighting poster, but wearing different hats.

The shoot obviously had a Spanish theme to it with the poster in the background and the two types of hats she is wearing, a Sombrero cordobés the smaller black hat and the more well known larger Sombrero. I prefer the first cover as it is just a standard photo of June, whereas the Man Junior cover looks to be lower quality giving it an almost painting feel to it.

Thanks to both John W and Paul from Firebird Records for the two different covers of June

Dawn’s Deliciously Perky Pair (Original)

Dawn Grayson and her deliciously perky pair from the original negative of the image that originally appeared in Kamera No.70 P12 (1966). The image published was cropped much closer than this version and you can see that version here, but I much prefer my version. Not only is the clarity as sharp as it could be, but you get to see more of Dawn, plus a few more of GHM’s prints on the wall.

The original medium format negative shows slightly more of the prints above Dawn’s head, so you can guess who the models are. The left hand one is June Palmer on the lawn at Ewhurst and the other being Pamela Green as Rita Landre on the beach. I know this is a duplication of an image of Dawn already posted, but worth a revisit as it’s from the negative itself and so much clearer, plus it’s Dawn and you can’t have enough of her!

Dawn Grayson – Beautiful Britons No.122 Cover (1966)

Dawn Grayson on the cover of Beautiful Britons No.122 published by Toco. I’m really not quite sure why they tended to enhance the images on the covers of some editions like this, where it seems the image has been given a painted cartoon effect? On this version they seem to have enhanced the blue of Dawn’s eyes and made her red hair look almost grey! Not really complaining, after all it’s still Dawn :)

The retouched version of this shot of Alicen Warden (Robin) appears in ‘Kamera on Location 66’ P45. On location down in Cornwall in May 1966. Alicen only ever posed for Harrison Marks for one week in May 1966 and this is a scan of the original negative giving a full on uncensored view of her by the riverside.

Note: This is an image from an original negative and subject to this copyright notice.

A Riverside Robin (Original)

The beautiful Robin (Alicen Warden) posing at the river edge from an original colour negative taken by Harrison Marks. I have quite a collection of negatives now of Robin, with nearly all of them taken on location down in Devon in 1966. This river and location were used no end of times in shots, but I have no idea as to which river it was, but it will have been somewhere near Bedruthen in North Cornwall where they were based for two weeks.  Robin was the name that GHM gave Alicen, but no idea as to why that name was used, but she accompanied GHM and the team for the 1st week in May 1966.

I love her pose in this shot along with the pigtails, but that water sure doesn’t look very warm to me! More of Robin on location here.

Two Stunning Forms in Color (1966)

Two fantastic female figures from the cover of Forms in Color Vol.1 No.3 (1966). Forms in Color was one of a number of continental magazines that regularly featured the work of Harrison Marks, with many of the images in it have not been retouched, unlike the UK versions.  The magazine was produced quarterly and printed in Copenhagen from the mid-sixties, published by Edition Studia and the issues were printed with both German and English text, as did many continental magazines of that time.

This edition features Tina Graham (Christine Carter) on the cover and Jayne Tracey brining up the rear on the back cover!

Gloria Lomax: A Glorious Day in Devon!


A small but perfect set of shots of Gloria Lomax taken by Terry Sparks on a beach down in Devon in the summer of 1966. Terry sent this set of scans copied from his collection on SVHS tape, hence the lower size and quality, and didn’t think they would be worth sharing! I disagree as it’s Gloria Lomax and stuff we’ve never seen before from Terry, so always worth seeing regardless of size.

I love the first close-up shot of Gloria, with the shadows across her face and the water drops across her small, pert tits. A brilliant shot and I do wish I had a better copy of that one to enjoy, but I can’t complain. Thanks to Terry as always for a glimpse into his world back then.

June Palmer – Kamera Calendar, Cover 1966

I thought I’d already published a version of the 1966 Kamera Calendar cover featuring June Palmer, but looking back through my posts it doesn’t seem like it. Anyway a high quality scan of my own copy of of the 1966 cover featuring a wet looking JP on the Roman Bath Set and I don’t think that green dress could cling to any more places on June!

I’ll continue to edit and repost my scans of the other months from 1966 over the coming weeks.

Kamera Calendars 1965 & 1966

Two more Kamera Calendars to add to my collection arrived over the Christmas period, with the 1965 copy filling the only gap I had of the missing calendars. In that I mean I have scans of all calendars from other sources and members, plus 3 original copies I’ve purchased (1960. 1965 and 1966)

As you can see the quality of both Calendars is very good, with the only defect being a slight double print on the cover of the 1965 Calendar, as you can see two sets of Jayne Tracy’s eyes. The inside pages of each calendar are perfect, with little colour fading for 50 years old. You could hang them on the wall today and they wouldn’t look out of place and as you can see the 1965 calendar is attached to a company backing board. Both also came with their original envelopes, but those are a little worn as you can imagine, but did their job and protected the actual calendars. Another bargain win on eBay as I won both for £7.80 including postage, result!

I’ve started scanning the pages of both and will start to share them on here soon :)
