Nature's Intention by Harrison Marks

Monique Devereux posing in long dark wig on the ‘Mandarin’ set for the cover of Nature’s Intention Vol.1 No.2 (1969). I now have No.1 and No.2 of this superb super sized (10″ x 8″) magazine by Harrison Marks, each containing 64 full pages of uncensored shots of a range of his models. Most shots originally appeared in his other publications such as Kamera and Solo, but those were the retouched versions. These are bigger and bolder and have more bush in them than the Australian outback! More of which will be seen in coming posts.

Two questions though? Does anyone know if there were more than two and does anyone have a high quality image of the cover of No.1? My copy of No.1 was missing the cover, but complete apart from that, so I’d love a high resolution version of it if anyone has one?

Lenz No.3 Cover

Lenz No.3 Cover by Harrison Marks and one of the more obscure publications from Harrison Marks and his Kamera Publications Ltd. Although the cover is by GHM the contents of the Lenz magazines tended to showcase other photographers of the time. No.3 featured the work of Ken Williams, but a lot of the models he used are very familiar and worked with Harrison Marks as well. Models in No.3 include Margaret Nolan, Sue Owen, Tina Graham, Annette Johnson and Maxine Miller and all looking fairly young!

Can anyone identify the model balancing on the Roller, as I don’t recognise her immediately? The location could well be the driveway at Ewhurst, but not much to go on.

Update: Thanks to MadMax the model has been identified as Britt Hampshire and two further shots from this shoot appear in Kamera No.58 – Thanks Max

Update 2: After further discussion it seems to be Paula King and Not Britt Hampshire and thanks to PhilD and Portland for further evidence.  Three further images below to support the Paula King theory :)



Any more theories to throw into the pot and thanks for all the feedback!

Maria Clarence – Solo No.29

I’ve published images before from the ‘Solo’ collection, but this is my first copy and what a way to start collecting them with none other than Maria Clarence. I love this cover so when I saw the magazine I jumped at the chance of getting it and luckily I got it! 32 pages dedicated to Maria Clarence.. yum!

Pamela Green – Kamera No.38 Cover

One of my favourite Kamera covers and models in the form of the glorious Pamela Green posing for a still on the set of the 1960 glamour film ‘ Xcitement’. I have a full set of covers for Kamera, but I’m slowly replacing them with larger, better quality shots like this as I acquire the magazines and do a scan myself.

Sophia Dawn – CC & MR Cover

Sophia Dawn on the cover of Connoisseurs Choice & Modelling Review Magazine Vol.5 No.9 (date unknown). I can never find any reference to dates on these magazines, but at a guess early to mid 1960’s and the setting looks to be at Ewhurst.

Margaret Nolan – QT No.68 Cover

Margaret Nolan on the cover of QT Magazine No.68 and she was also QT Beauty of the Month for this edition. Unfortunately my copy has the centre pages missing so can’t share that with you, unless someone else has a copy? Also anyone guess the date as not sure on this one? (Portland?)

Della Fox – Yes Sir!

Della Fox on the cover of Sir No.3 (Late 1950’s?) in some very colourful blue sheer panties and contrasting red suspender belt. Another model that changed her hair colour as often as her knickers, I’ve seen her blonde, dark and now red!
