Beach Beauty Pamela Green

An early Pamela Green shot by Harrison Marks from a silver gelatin photograph of her posing on some rocks naked. A stunning shot of Pam with her short dark hair and one that was probably taken in the late 1950’s and similar to the shots of her on the cover of ‘In Focus’ and some of the mid 1950’s Sun Bathing Review magazines.  Either way stunning and more to come ….

Maria Hale/Madeline Mado

Maria Hale/Madeline Mado Lynn Reeves (Katherine James) from a restored Harrison Marks 35mm Slide. Another Spick & Span model that also posed at times for GHM, but lesser known than most! with dark hair, than with the long Blonde wig worn as Madeline Mado!

Thanks to MadMax for spotting this once again :)

Jayne Tracey – Revue No.46

Two ‘uncensored’ shots of Jayne Tracey reprinted in the Danish publication ‘Nouvelle Serie De Revue’ No.46 by Harrison Marks on the space set used with many other models.

These magazines were published by Nordisk Bladcentral, Copenhagen and distributed by Sangko-Norden and there were several different publications, such as Play-Girl, Bazaar, Lotus, Charme, Nouvelle Serie De Revue and Nouvelle Serie De Studio.  Nearly all were re-prints of Harrison Marks work from Kamera and his other publications and feature all the familiar models from his work.
What is quite surprising is the addition of pubic hair in all these re-printed publications, as they are obviously added on to the original images, as the bushes are too perfect and uniform, but done well!  So we have a situation where for the UK market the images were retouched to remove any signs of pubic hair, due to UK censorship laws.  But the re-prints in the Scandinavian countries, where pubic hair was deemed OK, they added the hair back in!  It does beg the question as to why and could they not use GHM’s original untouched images rather than editing the pubic hair back in!  The answer may be as simple as that most of the originals didn’t have pubic hair as most of the models shaved similar to Pamela Green and Vivienne Warren.  Still seems like a lot of work to add the pubic hair back in, but then maybe the Scandinavian men liked their ‘Bush’, which you can’t complain about.
I’ve published several in the past and always wondered, but now you know. So when you see those perfect bushes on your favourite 1960’s models you will know they are probably from one of theses publications :)

Ann Wilson – Forms in Color

The beautiful redhead of Ann Wilson posing nude in front of an old grandfather clock in Ewhurst Manor by Harrison Marks. This image was  a reprint in a Danish magazine from the late 1960’s called ‘Forms in Color’ and included 24 uncensored colour shots mostly from Harrison Marks, but a few I don’t recognise!

Pamela Green The Slave Girl

Two superb shots of Pamela Green as a slave girl by Harrison Marks. These are scans from original silver gelatin photographs taken in the late 1950’s and part of a set that also includes this earlier published shot.  I only have the three shots, but I’m sure there must be many more out there?

Offered a Fortune To Make Blue Films (Article)

An article about Harrison Marks and being approached to make blue movies, which he pretty much did towards the end of his career anyway.  This comes from Titbits magazine (August 1968) and I’ve included the cover for completeness, as it has quite a sensational headline and of course has June Palmer on the front!  

The headline probably refers to Harrison Marks and his wife Vivienne Warren, who appears in the article, but which is probably out of context.  As mentioned in this original post on VEFhttp://vintage-erotica-forum.com/showpost.php?p=863130&postcount=29, the date of the magazine is 1968, but GHM and Vivienne had already parted company by then!

Thanks to Gavcrimson for the the original scans and being able to use them on my sites.

Frankie Young – She Walks in Beauty (1)

Three images of a nude Frankie Young messing about in the hay taken by Harrison Marks and printed in the ‘She Walks in Beauty’ hardback book published in 1964. A popular choice of model for this book as she appears no less than 16 times either posing alone or with other models!

Jennifer Garland & A Pearl Necklace!

Jennifer Garland by Harrison Marks from an early Kamera edition, probably around the late 1950’s.  A visually beautiful shot of Jennifer and those great tits with a pearl necklace!  Just for good measure the obligatory sheepskin rug is thrown in for good measure, just a shame the pubic region is retouched!

Rita Landre in Pink Corset

Rita Landre (Pamela Green) by Harrison Marks and posing in pink corset.  A fabulous shot and part of this set, which I only have two shots so far including this one.  Restored from a very poor 35mm slide, but unfortunately the whites are still very blown out and you lose detail down her left side.  Saying that I quite like it and all the white adds a certain quality to the shot.

She also wore a variation of this outfit with the same pink corset on the Parisian set and appeared in it for the 1960 (Nov) and 1961 (Jan) Kamera Calendars.
