A beautifully restored silver gelatin photo of Margaret Warhurst. A carefully posed Margaret on one knee allowing us to see her figure perfectly, but protecting anything too risqué with the other raised leg. :)
Making Hay With Margaret Warhurst

I original posted a version of this image here back in 2013 and it was an early attempt at restoring a downloaded copy of the image. Well I now have a better copy of the original that shows just how bad my first attempts at restoring images were! This comes from a direct scan of the Pamar slide mass produced for the market by Harrison Marks back in the late 1950’s and although still a copy (Interneg) of the original negative, the quality and colour is far superior to my original effort! The hay actually looks the right colour and until seeing this shot I didn’t realize Margaret had a blue headband in her hair! The slide also shows that it should be viewed this way, rather than my first version.
A Modest Margaret Warhurst (1950’s)
Another scan from an original Walton slide sent through by Jeff B, this time featuring a known model, Margaret Warhurst. This one took some restoration as it was very red and under exposed, but it has come up great and shows a great shot of Margaret posing in the studio with a sheer red sheet covering her modesty.
