Ann Austin – A Witches Brew! (Original)


There was some debate going on over the image I posted of the Avec Plaisir No.5 cover and if the model was actually Ann Austin. I wasn’t aware there was any doubt, as I immediately recognized it as Ann, but to confirm, here is the original 35 mm Pamar slide of the same shot sent over by Kevin. I’ve also had it confirmed, by an avid Ann collector, that it is indeed Ann. The only outstanding question being why is this the only shot we’ve found of Ann posing with this glass, and where are the other shots, if there are any?

One thing that no one seems to know, though, is what happened to Ann, as she seems to have disappeared after her modelling career and is she still with us today? Anyone else know?

A Cheeky One From June Wilkinson


June Wilkinson posed nude kneeling on a chair from a set of 5½  by 3½ glossy prints of June by Harrison Marks. These were advertised in ‘The Harrison Marks Glamour Guide’ under set No.358 and cost the princely sum of ten shillings per set, but worth every penny, I would say!

In Focus by Harrison Marks

‘In Focus’ was another Kamera style pocketbook that Kamera Publications launched in 1957. As far as I can ascertain there were 21 issues produced, with the final issue being published sometime in 1964. The content and images used are again very similar to that of Kamera, with photo’s taken of the models used across both publications. There are a lot of well known models used, including early Pamela Green/Rita Landre shots, but also a few more unknown models appearing.

Listed below are covers of all editions that I currently have in my collection (Thanks to Firebird London), but you will notice that No.1, No.16 and No.19 are missing, so if anyone has a decent large copy of those I’d appreciate a copy? You will also notice some familiar models and figures appearing on the covers and I can name all but a few. So, again if anyone knows who the models are on No.8, 10, 12, 17 and No.20 please do let me know.

The cover of Études Moderne by Harrison Marks (1950’s) featuring Pamela Green with short dark hair. This was an early GHM publication featuring 32 pages of nude studies, mostly Pamela Green as herself with short dark hair, blonde or as Rita Landre, but with the odd other model interspersed amongst the Pam shots. Thanks to Firebird Records for a copy of this fantastic early Harrison Marks publication

Erica’s Floral Recline


A second shot of Erica by Harrison Marks from another restored silver gelatin print sent over by Girlymag, as she lays naked on the edge. From a small set of 5 prints of Erica I have, which I’d never seen before until now, but superb quality.

Harrison Marks Colour Slides Catalogue

A copy of the 1960’s Harrison Marks Colour Slide Catalogue showing off 36 new sets of colour slides produced by Harrison Marks and Kamera Cine Films. Not to be confused with two earlier catalogues advertising the boxes of Pamar colour slides, these sets of 8 slides came in a clear transparent wallet. Looking through these sets I see many sets of models I have individual copies of some of the slides, but I do also have the full set of No.60 featuring June Palmer still in it’s wallet. One thing I have noticed about these later slides, they don’t seem to have aged well, as most I’ve come across the slides have gone very red/magenta in colour and need a lot of tweaking after scanning.

Hopefully a good reference point for some of the later slide sets and I know it’s already helped me identify sets I have images from.
