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 vivacious Virginia Green on the cover of QT No.29 by Russell Gay. A rather good shot of Virginia with a very well placed bow on the umbrella handle! Gay tended to be more colourful and garish with his magazine covers than Harrison Marks, with much more going on in them and the accompanying centrefolds. The centrefold from this edition also features Virginia posing on a western set in a cowgirl outfit, which I posted back in 2013 here.

I’ve had this image along with 20 others of this stunning dark haired natural beauty for sometime, but never knew whom she was until now. All of the shots feature her posing around a house, mostly living room and bedroom and from the looks of the décor I guessed it was in the UK, thus meaning the model could also be from the UK. A stunning body and natural bush, which I can now say belongs to the model named as Laura Pilgrim.
How do I know this, well thanks to Paul from Firebird Records, who recently sent me a whole collection of 1960’s magazine covers I found the cover below.

I only have a few select pages from the magazine, but it identifies Laura as the model and the photographer as Jerry Waldo, but features a whopping 72 images of her, some of which are similar to the 20 shots I have. So thanks to Paul and an unexpected find I’ve been able to name another stunning model, thanks Paul :)
Dawn on the cover of Solo No.43 (1964) which is a full 48 pages dedicated entirely to Dawn, what more could you ask for :)
Ann Austin on the cover of Avec Plaisir No.5 from the early 1960s on the familiar loft set wearing dangly earrings once worn by Julie. I’m not too sure what’s in the glass, but I don’t think I’d drink it, as it looks like some kind of witches brew!

Eva Wild on the cover of In Focus No.14 (Early 1960’s) by Harrison Marks. Thanks to Paul from Firebird Records for this fabulous cover and many others from the same publication :)

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!
