I’ve posted several individual shots of the three models Marianne Morris, Venetia Day and Dinah Challen by Terry Sparks on Rhodes, but very few of them all together. So, it’s very nice to find this article in Girl Illustrated Vol.5 No.1 (1971) with them all. They have Marianne down as Viki Pascal, which I knew she modelled as, but Dinah as Linda Rome is a new name to me.
Carrying on with the summer feeling with a favourite model from the 1980s in the form of Karen Mifflin cooling off at the sea edge. It seems Karen had a propensity for sunny locations or getting wet as a model, as nearly all the shots I have of her involve her doing one or both, such as this shot.
Not that I’m complaining as this olive skinned beauty suns her fabulous body and dark lush bush, but that sand is going to be a bugger to get out that hair ;)
Merle Henry down on the beach for a spot of nude sunbathing and posing for Harrison Marks. Here we see a full-frontal of Merle showing off her perfectly smooth lower region, and censored versions of similar shots of Merle appeared in Kamera No.41 and Solo (1962). Beautiful views of the beach and Merle for all to see!
The man himself Harrison Marks! Photographed here on location in 1958 with Pamela Green (dark wig) and Marie Deveraux (blonde wig). A typical shot of GHM with camera in hand and a cigarette not too far away! Taken on the Scilly Isles, this shot of Harrison Marks and two of his most popular models appeared in his hardback book Kamera on Location P8 (1958).

Lorraine Burnette posing with a rock above her head on a beach on the Isles of Scilly by Harrison Marks. This particular shot comes from the hardback book ‘Kamera on Location’ P89 (1958).
Elaine Desmond, posing for Harrison Marks as she kneels on her hands and knees naked in the sand. Taken from an original medium format negative down on a beach, probably on location in Cornwall in the mid 1960s. A fabulous pose by Elaine, but she does seem to have a bit of a sandy bottom!
Two different shots of Marie Deveraux from the 1958 hardback publication ‘Kamera on Location’ by Harrison Marks. Both taken on location in and around the Isles of Scilly and show Marie posing nude apart from a scarf and different coloured hair! I assume the blonde shot is a wig as Marie was naturally dark, but can’t quite make up my mind which look I prefer, black or blonde?

Lorraine Burnett bursting out of her one piece swimming costume down on the beach from a restored print. That costume looks a bit tight for someone with a large bust like Lorraine, thank god it’s got a zip up the front, although I’m not sure it would close up over those ample tits! The costume also looks a little snug down below as she seems to have a bit of a camel toe going on!
Another original image of Tina Graham (Christine Carter) posing for Harrison Marks on a beach and bamboo set, similar to the one I posted here. I think this is a superior shot than the first, as the kneeling pose works better than the first? This style of side on pose was used a lot by GHM, as it’s simple but effective, whilst showing the model’s great figure, but also not showing too much! Would love to have seen Tina in this same pose but directly from the front and rear, similar to this shot, but then I’m just as perv. :)

Nancy Roberts kneeling on the steps of a building in the grounds of Sheplegh Court, Devon from a scan of a photographic glass plate. Another from the set of Nancy in the grounds of Sheplegh Court in 1959, when she was a mere 20 years old and taken by Leslie L. Bainbridge, editor of H&E (Health & Efficiency) magazine and then Girl Illustrated.
