Vera Day – Nude & In Colour!

One of the few fully nude and colour images of Vera Day from ‘Vera’ by Harrison Marks. Classically posed on yet another leopard skin rug and it seems a leopard skin or sheepskin rug were de rigueur for any respected photographer back then!

A More Familiar Cleo Simmons

Two shots of a more familiar blonde Cleo Simmons from Nouvelle Serie De Revue No.65. Unlike other images from this publication where pubic hair has been added back in, these shots of Miss Simmons seem to show her beautiful true natural bush.

Vera Cover by Harrison Marks

The cover of the book simply titled ‘Vera’ (1962) by Harrison Marks featuring the model and actress Vera Day. A simple but stunning close-up of Vera for the cover.

June Simpson – Photographic Rhythm Cover

The always glorious June Simpson on the cover of Photographic Rhythm No.1 by Lawrence Vern. I’m not sure you’d get away with a model today sitting astride a leopard skin rug including head, but you could then. The leopard looks in a state of shock, but so would you with June Simpson sat astride you naked, or maybe not!

Lots of restoration to this cover as it was in bad condition and had a big strip of sellotape down the spine, which you can just see, but a good effort I think!

A pensive looking Britt Hampshire again posing for an unknown amateur photographer sat on what looks like a fireplace.

Jayne Tracey Hanging Around!

Jayne Tracey perched in a tree from the pages of Glamorous Girls No.2. An obvious reprint of a GHM shot from Kamera or Solo taken in the grounds of Ewhurst Manor. How do I know this, well from the style and shape of the tree I can tell it was the third tree on the right from the driveway, to the left of the pond outside the front of Ewhurst (Joking!). It just looks like it could be there and is in keeping with shots of Jayne at that time from Ewhurst :)

June Simpson by Lawrence Venn

The distinguishable June Simpson posing on leopard skin rug for Lawrence Venn. This was taken from the pages of Photographic Rhythm No.1 (1950’s) by Lawrence Venn and featured models such as Eve Eden and others that I recognise but can’t name yet.

The magazine itself is a 34 page medium format (9 x 7 inches) publication featuring full page black and white nudes, with a back page of photographic technical data to make it all seem legit.

Note: This image may look edited as though it’s be cut out and pasted onto the background, this wasn’t done by me (I’m not that clever!) but part of the original publication!

Another shot of Lorraine Burnett with short blonde hair by Harrison Marks on the dressing room set, this time half kneeling on a chair staring off into the distance!

Britt Hampshire Gloriously Golden!

Two more wonderfully lit shots of Britt Hampshire from the 1960’s and by the same photographer as these shots, who is unknown but has worked the light perfectly to highlight Britt. I think I prefer these two shots to the first two :)
