Dedicated to the published work of Harrison Marks & other prominent photographers of the 1950's, 60's and early 70's. Along with popular glamour models such as June Palmer, Pamela Green, Dawn Grayson and others

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
A nude Erica from the cover of Solo No.9 by Harrison Marks (1959). Nice body and pose, but I’m not sure about the pink hat!

Does the cover of a vintage magazine get any better? Della Fox and Ann Austin together and nude on the cover of Jem No.2, perfect!
From Dawson Publishing Co. comes the cover of a small format magazine dedicated to Eve Eden, who also appears in tricolour on the front and back covers. There was a collection of these magazines, all titled ‘Presenting … Model Name’ and all under the guise of being a magazine for artists and photographers. Any excuse to see your favourite model nude!
Two fantastic female figures from the cover of Forms in Color Vol.1 No.3 (1966). Forms in Color was one of a number of continental magazines that regularly featured the work of Harrison Marks, with many of the images in it have not been retouched, unlike the UK versions. The magazine was produced quarterly and printed in Copenhagen from the mid-sixties, published by Edition Studia and the issues were printed with both German and English text, as did many continental magazines of that time.
This edition features Tina Graham (Christine Carter) on the cover and Jayne Tracey brining up the rear on the back cover!

Another small format magazine created by Harrison Marks and featuring one of his later models Tina McGowan. Similar to Solo these magazines were dedicated to images of one particular model taken by GHM, in this case Tina. I don’t know much more as I only have a copy of the cover, but I can’t say Tina is a particular favourite GHM model of mine, but then I don’t have many images of her, so I may been doing her a disservice! Still looking at the cover image of her, she doesn’t look the most attractive in this shot.
The title says it all really! Gloria Lomax on the cover of Shaved Beaver No.1 laying on the bed in black corset and stockings showing off her shaved beaver! Well not really as the publisher has added the pink oval to hide anything to risqué, but one assume more was revealed inside, so to speak!

In between new posts and editing images I’m also trying to do updates to the current site content and one area I’m updating is the model profiles I’ve published. I’m currently working through Dawn’s profile, adding more images, adding a small database of magazine appearances, plus I’ll be updating her magazine cover appearances with better images, where I have them. One area that I was missing good covers was her early Beautiful Britons, Spick & Span appearances. In fact I have very little content of her from those appearances overall!
Thankfully that is about to change thanks to the generous support of Jonathan over at Vintage Fetish, who has kindly provided me with images of nearly all Dawn’s cover appearances for Town and Country Publications (ToCo). The above cover is the first good example of Dawn from Spick & Span Extra (Summer 1967), which like most of the covers from that early period has a certain painted effect to it, rather than a simple photo. A stunning cover of Dawn posing in an armchair with her hair in a plat, which I’ve never seen before!
Again, thanks to Jonathan for the covers and do go take a look at his site, as it’s my go to site for all Toco related publications and a great source for identifying unknown UK models.
A scan of the cover of Kamera No.51 (1963) featuring a very colourful shot of Vivienne Warren. A simple shot of Vivienne posing nude on the sheepskin rug with a very pink background as a perfect contrast.
The cover of Kamera No.36 (1960) featuring one of my big busted favourites, Erica. This comes from a scan of my own copy from my growing collection of Kamera magazines. It needed very little doing to it, apart from a tweak to the colours, as this copy is in near perfect condition for its age, with the cover only slightly faded.
