Pamela by Harrison Marks

The cover of the hardback book ‘Pamela’ by Harrison Marks.  A wonderful study and book containing images solely of Pamela Green from 1955.  All the images show Pam with short dark hair or the first early pictures of her wearing the red wig as Rita Landre.

The book itself contains 66 pages broken down into 3 different chapters, each containing a different set of Pam photographs. ‘By The Shore’ shows images of both Pam and Rita posing at various locations on the beach and in the sea. ‘Studio Nudes’ is self explanatory, it shows Pam posing nude in various poses within the studio, so much more formal full length poses. Finally there is ‘Art of Glamour’ where she poses in various costumes as herself and Rita, including some imaginative uses of a chequered shawl and white mink shawl/coat.

A wonderful book for any collector of GHM or Pamela and thanks to Yak from the official Pamela Green site for sending me a copy :)

She Walks in Beauty Dust Cover

The dust cover to the hardback book ‘She Walks in Beauty’ (1964) featuring from bottom to top, Margaret Nolan, Marie Deveraux, Rita Landre (Pamela Green) and unknown  Lee Southern (Grace Jackson).

Another on my list of books to get an actual copy ( I should write a list!)

Thanks to MadMax for identifying Lee Southern in the top image :)

June Simpson – Photographic Rhythm Cover

The always glorious June Simpson on the cover of Photographic Rhythm No.1 by Lawrence Vern. I’m not sure you’d get away with a model today sitting astride a leopard skin rug including head, but you could then.  The leopard looks in a state of shock, but so would you with June Simpson sat astride you naked, or maybe not!

Lots of restoration to this cover as it was in bad condition and had a big strip of sellotape down the spine, which you can just see, but a good effort I think!

Marie Deveraux – Film & Figure Cover

Marie Deveraux on the cover of Film & Figure Magazine No.9 by Parliament Publications (Late 1960’s). What is interesting about this shot is that it looks like a Harrison Marks shot, as she wore that blonde wig and scarf on this 1957 shoot.  This is the first decent colour shot from the shoot I’ve actually seen!

Elaine Desmond – Etudes No.7 Cover

Elaine Desmond sporting a wicker hat on the cover of Etudes Plastique Album No.7 (1955) by Belorgey and Roland Carre.  A wonderful 32 page French magazine, but unfortunately the only recognisable model is Elaine on the cover, the rest although very nice are unknown French/European models.

I must say that for a 59 year old magazine it is in exceptional condition, as these magazines have detachable covers similar to a dust jacket.  That means the magazine inside is nearly perfect condition with no wear to the page edges of discolouration. It came as part of a bundle of magazines I aquired and rather than putting it to one side to gather dust I thought I’d have a go at selling it on eBay.  Take a look if interested, but in the meantime enjoy the cover :)
