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
Dawn Grayson on the cover of Spick & Span Extra No.44 (Autumn 1972) and there’s something extremely sexy about this look! I think it’s the combination of white suspender belt and stockings worn underneath those blue striped pants! The top half of Dawn looks quite normal in a nice green jumper, but her look, and the view below, is very seductive. Unfortunately, I only have the cover, so don’t know if any other pics from this set of Dawn were inside?
Jenny Lane gives us a flash of her left tit and sheer panties on the cover of Cloud No.10. The use of only one colour seems to work, although yellow seems to be quite a harsh colour to use, but it sure stands out and highlights Jenny on the cover.
The majestic Lynn Shaw on the cover of Line and Form No.26. Another of the beautiful tri-coloured covers produced by the publishers of this magnificent late 1950s or early 60s magazine, featuring the fabulous study of nudes such as Lynn.
A couple of very colourful views both in terms of content and colour from Exciting No.26 (1969). Another full magazine scan from my collection of Exciting & Cover Girl magazines showing off some fabulous views of a European model. Loving the hair and heels in the shot and think the pink bi-colouring emphasises the model and view quite well.
Sylvia Bayo on the cover of the ‘Super Blackbird Special’ Exotic No.7 published by Pennine Magazines and distributed by David Gold.
A bit politically incorrect today by giving it a sub-heading ‘Blackbird Special’, but hey that is what she is a very special black bird or ebony babe, which ever you wish to use. There are also 6 images of Gerry Brown and one of Sue Bond at the end, so a mixture of black and white in the end :)
Another shot of Valerie Jones from The Fabulous Valerie Jones published by Gold Star publications. This shot appeared on P23 and shows Valerie and reflection sat with her feet in the bath. Taken by Harrison Marks, this setting of the sunken bath, marble walls and mirrors has appeared many times before, with June Palmer and Britt Hampshire also putting the sunken bath to good use. :)
Helga Berkmann on the cover of Girl Illustrated Vol.3 No.26 (1969), with a different shot from this set also appearing in GI Vol.4 No.39 (1970). Normally I’d have passed this by without a second glance, but she also posed for Harrison Marks and was on my list of unknown Models. I posted this original shot of her back in 2015 from my negative collection and have several others of her as well.
Like many models back then she appeared in numerous publications such as Escort, Fiesta, Carnival, GI and more and all with various alterations to her name. The main name that appears seems to be Helga Berk/Berkmann, but she also appeared as Helga Nolan and Mara Osterman in Mayfair. The shots by GHM and in GI have her wearing a short wig, but it seems her actual hair is slightly longer and blonde.
The cover of Cover Girl No.25 from the mid 1960s and featuring a different view than you would normally find on this type of publication. These European publications normally heavily feature models with a full on bush, popular in Europe at the time. This edition is one of the few to feature a shaven model on the cover and within, and rather nice she is! Plus, you wouldn’t get such an open and explicit cover on a magazine like this in the UK.
I also published a different bi-coloured view of this model here.
I’m trying to build up a collection of both Cover Girl and Exciting magazines, but they are hard to find in good condition. So far I’ve managed to acquired 7 editions of Cover Girl, 5 of Modern Girls and 10 editions of Exciting, including the very rare No.1. Still more to go but slowly getting there! :)
A magazine cover, but not quite what it seems! As followers will know, I have a collection of European magazines published by Nordisk Bladcentral in the late 1960s. These were Cover Girl and Exciting and featuring some more open and expressive models by the likes of Serge Jacques & Belorgery. Exciting published 32 editions in total, but is now very hard to find.
Above is not a missing edition, but a new cover created by me. The image is one of my originals, but I’ve recreated the cover, including the title logo and font. A bit of fun, and I’m sure if I had a few more hours I could recreate an authentic version of a full magazine. Especially with the amount of images and content I have in my collection.
Louise Worth sat posing on a four-poster bed from Kamera No.80 cover (1967) by Harrison Marks. The four-poster bed was actually in a bedroom at Ewhurst Manor. It seems to appear in other shoots, including a set featuring Margaret Nolan and others. :)
