Two shots of June posing in front of a familiar fireplace in black underwear. I think this must either be a well used set or more likely a room used by June and Arthur Howell, as I’ve seen other shots of June posing in front of this fireplace with the same props, electric fire, sheepskin rug and same ornaments and clock on the mantel. I also have this of original images of Terry Graham posing in the same location. Thanks to John for these two shots of June.

Two shots for members only that give you a wider shot, showing more of the room, including the full fireplace and bookcase to the right. you will also see the rapier swords on the wall, that have been seen in other shots of June on the wall, and in use. Again giving it credence that the images were taken by Arthur Howell at Strobe or home?[/member]

A Pensive Pose by June (Original)

A more serious pensive pose from June as she runs her fingers through her hair. All very serious indeed if it wasn’t for the fact she was also topless! Another shot from this set of June posing topless in a black skirt.

It’s Curtains For June (Originals)

Two original shots of June scanned from 35mm negatives by John W and restored by my good self. both show a longer haired June posing in front of some silk curtains, one wearing a slightly opened (pink) dressing gown and a rear view of June with a red sheer sheet around her waist. The silk curtain is also a red and I know this because I have the two same images in colour, but from smaller poor quality scans. This does raise the question as to why there are both colour and black and white negatives out there of the same shot? One assumes they were mass produced for sale as slides in both colour and black and white?

Two great shots of June in front of the curtain that work well in black and white, as well as colour.

June in Jeans (Original)

Another beautiful shot of a young dressed June posing in blouse and blue jeans in the park, which comes from a set of 10 different images of her in this outfit. Nothing risqué about these shots, but even so June looks as stunning as ever, even fully dressed. Thanks to John for sending over another wonderful set of June :)

No idea as to the location of the park, as you don’t get to see much of the background in the shot?

June on Glass, Box 1 Plate No.7 – Seated View (Original)

The 7th glass photographic plate of June taken by Leslie Bainbridge in the studio (12th August, 1960). This shot has June sat with her legs out to one side as she plays with her necklace, unfortunately there is a shadow on the right hand side and I’m not sure if that was in the studio at the time or on the glass plate itself. Still a worthy shot of June :)

June Palmer – A Quick Drinks Break! (Original)

We’ve had cigarette’s, now for booze and fast cars! A brilliant shot of June posing for a publicity shot or advert I assume, sat on the back of a vintage car with a glass of wine in hand.

The Grasshopper Inn, which is prominent in the shot still exists today and can be found in Westerham, Kent and is advertised as a privately owned, recently restored, beautiful Tudor building set in the idyllic Kent countryside.  There are many images of the Inn online, but I couldn’t find this particular view, but I’m sure it has changed considerably since then! It is also close to Oxted and I have other shots of June from this same shoot with her sat on the bonnet and roof of the darker vintage car at a crossroads with Oxted on a sign.

The darker car is possibly a Jaguar, as may the white one be, but not 100% sure? A great piece of June Memorabilia that is different from the normal glamour related stuff and a snapshot of things back then.

Update: Thanks to MadMax who sent this message to me – ‘The cars are both Elva Couriers and this looks very like a publicity photoshoot for advertising or brochures. Elva were based in Bexhill, then Hastings so this part of Kent would have been almost on their doorstep.’. Madmax is spot on because if you go to the Elva website there are two colour photo’s taken outside the Grasshopper at the same time as the one above, one even has June in it with the title “Arrive in style and enjoy a glass of ‘warm’ beer and a Babycham for your lady.” – Fantastic and thanks to MadMax.

On further searching I’ve found another shot of June posing in a bikini in a white Elva here, that identifies the car as a 1961 Trojan-built MkIII Elva Courier. I also found ‘Fast Elva Ladies’ Page featuring June in two shots as well here. Which then also led me to this image of June I’d already posted in the now identified car :)

I love stumbling across things like this and all from one image :) More images of June and the Elva to come …

June Palmer – Passport to Smoking Pleasure! (Original)

[nonmember][/nonmember]

A brand new shot of June from John W’s collection, showing her enjoying a cigarette in front of the camera. I just love the use of the black background to help capture the smoke in the shot. John also included some quotes from cigarette adverts back in the 1960’s/70’s, such as ‘You’re never alone with a Strand’, ‘Cool as a mountain stream’ and ‘The international passport to smoking pleasure’. I can’t say I remember any of those, as I was far too young, but still funny seeing cigarette’s advertised in such a way, when now you can’t even show the packets in the shop, let alone see an advert on TV!

Valerie Jones & Her Glass Cutters!


Another of the less published models of Harrison Marks on this site is Valerie Jones, and the only other shot I’ve published of her is this one. One thing obvious in both shots is Valerie’s ‘Glass Cutter’ Nipples, as in both shots and a few others I have they seem to be very pointed and prominent. One assumes it was the natural state of them, more than anything else. :)
