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 from the set of Nancy Roberts taken in the grounds of Sheplegh Court in 1959, when she was a mere 20 years old! Looking at the details on the box of these glass plates, I now recognize the handwriting as that of Leslie L. Bainbridge, editor of H&E (Health & Efficiency) magazine and then Girl Illustrated. A stunning shot of Nancy who seems to appear in many of Bainbridge’s early H&E magazines and several ‘naturist’ films, including the new one in my collection ‘World Without Clothes’.
A ‘Non-Blonde’ image of Pamela Green posing in long dark wig and scarf, using a towel to hide anything too sensitive. Taken on a beach on the Isles of Scilly in 1958 and produced as part of a Pamar 35 mm colour slide set, most of these shots ended up in the Kamera on Location book, but as black and white. The reproduction and restoration of colours on this slide is one of the best I’ve seen and comes from my own collection of Pamar slides.
The pose of Pam here actually makes it looks like she’s doing some sort of exercise workout, although I’m sure it’s just one of those ‘artistic’ poses Harrison Marks used to make her get into :)
Venetia Day covered in sand as she poses naked on a beach in Rhodes for Terry Sparks in 1971. A great shot of Venetia with her arms flung back and wearing that large bead necklace that Terry preferred and as worn by Vicki Pascale and others that posed for him. Another sunny shot, and I’d have offered to rub that sand off her if needed. :)
A young June Palmer from the late 1950s or early 60s from an original negative scan sent over by John W. I loved this shot because it was just different with her sat there on a beach buried in the sand topless.
As a boy growing up, how many times on holiday did you dig a big hole on the beach, jump in and then get someone to bury you up to your knees of higher in the sand? I know I did on many occasions, but I can quite safely say I never saw anyone as good as June buried like this in the sand on any beach I visited, so I was obviously visiting the wrong beaches. :)
I think June is just sat on the beach with sand just over her legs rather than in a hole, but regardless it’s still a fabulous shot of her in the sand showing off that body and perfect tits! Not only that, but I love the look on her face in the shot as well, as she has a look to her, probably wondering what happens next. :)

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!
