Kamera Calendars 1965 & 1966

Two more Kamera Calendars to add to my collection arrived over the Christmas period, with the 1965 copy filling the only gap I had of the missing calendars. In that I mean I have scans of all calendars from other sources and members, plus 3 original copies I’ve purchased (1960. 1965 and 1966)

As you can see the quality of both Calendars is very good, with the only defect being a slight double print on the cover of the 1965 Calendar, as you can see two sets of Jayne Tracy’s eyes. The inside pages of each calendar are perfect, with little colour fading for 50 years old. You could hang them on the wall today and they wouldn’t look out of place and as you can see the 1965 calendar is attached to a company backing board. Both also came with their original envelopes, but those are a little worn as you can imagine, but did their job and protected the actual calendars. Another bargain win on eBay as I won both for £7.80 including postage, result!

I’ve started scanning the pages of both and will start to share them on here soon :)

Sleepy Time Gal (Video)

The only Dawn Grayson glamour film I have a copy of, which is a shame, but still worth showing as you get to see her lying on a bed and then stripping in some form of dream sequence. This was one of the later glamour films by Harrison Marks under the Kamera Cine Films banner and was produced in 8 mm black and white film in 1967 under the film number E.16.

Josephine Watson – Playing Statues! (1958)

An artistic pose from Josephine Watson from Kamera No.11 P15 (1958) as she kneels leaning on a small statue base. Her face may be slightly obscured, but we still get a great view of her figure in this very arty shot from GHM.

Two restored prints of Josephine Watson by Harrison Marks. After having only a few shots of her and not knowing who she was I now have several sets of her by GHM, one of which she is posing in front of the familiar floral wallpaper, like these two shots. Very striking feline like make-up and love the rear view in the second shot, as you get to see the dimples on her bum, plus the perfect shape of her boob!

Simply Erica


A top-heavy shot of Harrison Marks model Erica, restored from a scan of a print sent over by John from Oxxbridge Galleries. A simple but effective shot showing her greatest assets!

S is for Sissi! (Xmas Calendar)

And the final letter for the 2015 Christmas Calendar goes to Sissi Mississippi and an original shot from one of my own negatives. Sissi looks stunning in this pose, especially her hair and dark eyeliner around her eyes, and that’s even before we look at her body! Although the shadow from her thumb does make the shape of her pubic hair look rather odd!

Well that’s it for this year’s Christmas calendar and I hope it’s kept you entertained on the run up to the festivities? All that’s left is to again wish everyone a Merry Christmas and that things will slow down after today as I take a break and enjoy the holidays myself. There may be some more posts, but not as regularly as normal. Normal service will resume in the New Year.

Thelma a Deceiving Look!


Another restored print from the Oxxbridge collection, but this time a Harrison Marks shot of Thelma laying on the leopardskin rug! This shot appears to have been taken in the late 1950s, as similar shots with the same rug appear in both Kamera No.4 (1957) and Kamera No.11 (1958), the latter featuring Thelma in colour on the cover and centre pages. Shots that appeared in Kamera and some that weren’t were also mass printed and sold as individual prints and postcards and sold (probably under the counter in plain brown paper bags!) to the discerning collector.

M is for Mary Millington (Xmas Calendar)

Another appearance on this blog for Mary Millington, although unlike some of my other favourite models she can legitimately be here! Mary’s career is well known and documented, including one of her most famous and successful films ‘Come Play with Me’, filmed by non other than Harrison Marks. There are other links to Mary and GHM over her career, so I thought I’d share an image of her here, not the normal stuff rather a tasteful semi dressed shot, as the other stuff can come later.

Another titbit I’ve just found out whilst looking on the Mary Millington website. The fictitious ‘Bovington Manor’ in Come Play with Me was used by Harrison Marks to shoot scenes for his film, The Nine Ages of Nakedness in 1968 and eight years later to film Come Play with Me and it’s literally two miles down the road from where I live! Now a manor hotel it’s still open for business and a little piece of GHM history I didn’t realize was on my own doorstep!
