A more serious pensive pose from June as she runs her fingers through her hair. All very serious indeed if it wasn’t for the fact she was also topless! Another shot from this set of June posing topless in a black skirt.

Another black and white 35mm negative of June that was probably produced as a colour negative as well, of June posing in the waves. This comes from the set of June wearing a black striped bikini posing on a beach in the UK somewhere, which I’ve published several colour shots before here.

Vanda Hudson was an Actress/Model/Singer (1937-2004) that had small parts in a number of British movies in the 1950’s and 60’s. She appeared in a set of Pamar Colour Slides (1959), of which this is a scan of one of the slides, plus appearing twice in the 1959 Kamera Calendar. She appeared on the January page in a shot similar to above on the spotted background and the November page, with a fur stole and red background. It’s not known if she posed or appeared for Harrison Marks other than these times.
A perfect catch and a perfect shot of Marie Deveraux by Harrison Marks. Taken in the studio, it captures Marie using a fishing net as a make shift skirt and managing to hide her lower region from the camera.

Margaret Nolan with longer hair posing for Harrison Marks on a railway line, probably on location down in Cornwall, as he’s used this track and location in shots before with other models. This image of Margaret also seems to come from the same shoot as this shot of her in the forest, as she seems to have the same hair style and make-up.
A stunning shot of Margaret on the tracks and she looks quite young in the shot, but still probably early to mid 1960’s I think?

The beautiful Gloria Lomax posing nude on the stairs at Ewhurst Manor for Harrison Marks, taken from an original medium format colour negative. A simple but effective shot and who could resist that look! I think the mask on the wall beside Gloria has its tongue out, but who wouldn’t with a naked woman like Gloria next to you!

Another beautiful shot of a young dressed June posing in blouse and blue jeans in the park, which comes from a set of 10 different images of her in this outfit. Nothing risqué about these shots, but even so June looks as stunning as ever, even fully dressed. Thanks to John for sending over another wonderful set of June :)
No idea as to the location of the park, as you don’t get to see much of the background in the shot?

A restored colour negative of June posing on a bar we’ve seen before in this shot, wearing black underwear, fishnet tights and gold gloves. Beautiful pose, although a little off putting if your trying to have a quiet pint, but hey June could serve me my pint looking like that any day!

The 7th glass photographic plate of June taken by Leslie Bainbridge in the studio (12th August, 1960). This shot has June sat with her legs out to one side as she plays with her necklace, unfortunately there is a shadow on the right hand side and I’m not sure if that was in the studio at the time or on the glass plate itself. Still a worthy shot of June :)

We’ve had cigarette’s, now for booze and fast cars! A brilliant shot of June posing for a publicity shot or advert I assume, sat on the back of a vintage car with a glass of wine in hand.
The Grasshopper Inn, which is prominent in the shot still exists today and can be found in Westerham, Kent and is advertised as a privately owned, recently restored, beautiful Tudor building set in the idyllic Kent countryside. There are many images of the Inn online, but I couldn’t find this particular view, but I’m sure it has changed considerably since then! It is also close to Oxted and I have other shots of June from this same shoot with her sat on the bonnet and roof of the darker vintage car at a crossroads with Oxted on a sign.
The darker car is possibly a Jaguar, as may the white one be, but not 100% sure? A great piece of June Memorabilia that is different from the normal glamour related stuff and a snapshot of things back then.
Update: Thanks to MadMax who sent this message to me – ‘The cars are both Elva Couriers and this looks very like a publicity photoshoot for advertising or brochures. Elva were based in Bexhill, then Hastings so this part of Kent would have been almost on their doorstep.’. Madmax is spot on because if you go to the Elva website there are two colour photo’s taken outside the Grasshopper at the same time as the one above, one even has June in it with the title “Arrive in style and enjoy a glass of ‘warm’ beer and a Babycham for your lady.” – Fantastic and thanks to MadMax.
On further searching I’ve found another shot of June posing in a bikini in a white Elva here, that identifies the car as a 1961 Trojan-built MkIII Elva Courier. I also found ‘Fast Elva Ladies’ Page featuring June in two shots as well here. Which then also led me to this image of June I’d already posted in the now identified car :)
I love stumbling across things like this and all from one image :) More images of June and the Elva to come …
