Dedicated to the published work of Harrison Marks & other prominent photographers of the 1950's, 60's and early 70's. Along with popular glamour models such as June Palmer, Pamela Green, Dawn Grayson and others
Another promotional shot by London photo agency Cowderoy & Moss Ltd featuring June Palmer and Eve Eden posing on a couple of Lambretta Scooters with two fellow male models in nice jumpers. Obviously meant to look as though they are riding the scooters as they pose, just a shame you can see the stands are down holding the scooters in place! I love these different shots of June and Eve, showing a glamour model’s life wasn’t all nudes and boobs. :)
An original 5 by 3½ promotional print of Hazel Taylor offering up a box of crisps for your delight. To be honest when I first saw it I recognized Hazel, but thought it was a box of cereal she was holding, then I realized it was crisps! That’s one hell of a large box of ready salted crisps, and I didn’t realize that they came in big boxes like that back in the 60s?
Hazel has a great smile in this shot in her blue bra, and I’d definitely go buy some crisps after seeing this, in fact it’s made me quite hungry, must be time for lunch!
As an unrelated aside, Meredith & Drew made crisps and biscuits back in the 1960s and were originally established in 1891. They had around five percent of the British crisps market by 1963 and produced biscuit favourites still around today such as shortcake, currant shortcake, Nice, Bourbon, custard cream and ginger nuts. I used to love ginger nuts! The full history on Meredith & Drew can be found here if you are interested?
Finally, what other site gives you tits, history, and education all in the same place :)
Another fabulous shot of June Palmer from this set of promotional shots by London photo agency Cowderoy & Moss Ltd featuring June posing on a Lambretta Scooter. This time we see June getting friendly with a male friend sat beside a scooter at a crossroads on the A2. I love the fact the sign post is in the shot as it pinpoints the location as the crossroads on the Hawkhurst Road, where the A2 crosses the A268.
I would also say it was taken at the same location as the shot below of Eve Eden and June for several reasons. It’s the same registration plate on both scooters. June is wearing the same outfit and if you look at the building in the background I’m sure it’s the same door in this Google street view, which is again on the A2/A268 crossroads?
Thanks to John W for a copy of this new print of June at the crossroads :)
I finally have the fourth slide from the Esquire 35 mm colour slide set No.48 featuring June Simpson posing nude in a red paddling pool! I’ve restored the colour on all four now, and you can see scans of the original slides before restoration below. I’ve also included the original advert for the set that was featured in a catalogue for Esquire slide sets. As you will see these were part of a set of 8, but don’t think the other 4 slides were of June, but I may be wrong? All the images of June in the red paddling pool I’ve posted so far can be found here.
Another promotional shot by London photo agency Cowderoy & Moss Ltd featuring June posing on a Lambretta Scooter. This time we see June down at the beach, sat astride the scooter in a fetching pair of striped pants, white cardigan top and scarf, as she hands off her bag to a chap in a beach hut! I always enjoy seeing this different side of June and her non-glamour work during the height of her career. It seems like she had enjoyed posing on Scooters and cars a lot. :)
When I found this first shot of June and Eve Eden posing on a Lambretta Scooter I had hoped I would find more, but had never found any until now! I saw this shot several weeks ago being sold over on eBay by Teri Martine, but knew it would be popular, so never bid on it. Fortunately for me John W did, and he won it along with a few others, so I now have a copy to share.
The text that accompanied this image from Teri on eBay suggested that it was June posing on the back of a British Lambretta scooter. It was done for the company that made the scooters, and quite possible it was used for one of their ads in a magazine. John also sent me some other shots of June posing in the studio on a Lambretta for the company Cowderoy & Moss Ltd, so this could also be for them?
The other model is Eve Eden who did another commercial with June on a scooter and potentially that was the first shot of the two I posted. A fantastic piece of memorabilia, and thanks to John for sending me a copy of this image featuring two of my favourite models. Surprisingly, the first shot of June and Eve is one of my most popular images, and they even had their clothes on!
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?
In no particular order some of the models are June Palmer, Virginia Green, Rita Landre, Lorraine BurnettRona Scott & Paula Page. Anyone seen these films?
