Clyda Rosen, leaning back and enjoying the feeling of the sheepskin rug on her naked body. We also get a view of her very thick, lush rug as well! You can’t beat a bit of Clyda to end your day on!
Margaret Nolan’s Bedtime Balancing Act!
Yet another shot of Margaret Nolan (Vicky Kennedy) posing on the edge of a four-poster bed taken by Harrison Marks, from this set of images. Taken on location in one of the bedrooms of Ewhurst Manor.
A Kneeling Nancy (1959)
Nancy Roberts kneeling on the steps of a building in the grounds of Sheplegh Court, Devon from a scan of a photographic glass plate. Another from the set of Nancy in the grounds of Sheplegh Court in 1959, when she was a mere 20 years old and taken by Leslie L. Bainbridge, editor of H&E (Health & Efficiency) magazine and then Girl Illustrated.
Sylvana Manto By Philip Gotlop (Original)

Another shot from the collection of original Philip Gotlop prints sent over by Paul from Firebird Records, but this time the model is recognizable, especially if you follow this site. The model so beautifully highlighted by the light and shadows is non-other than Sylvana Manto (Madelaine Bannister). A stunning shot of her by Philip, and I do wonder why his early glamour work has gone mostly unnoticed or avoided rather than his more popular work? Maybe as he became more popular, he didn’t want to be associated with this side of his photography, but we all have to start somewhere!
Carol Perry – A Cheeky One at The Dog & Duck! (Original)
I couldn’t resist this shot of Carol Perry sent over by member Whyriley, who used to run a photographic studio back in the 1960’s and 70’s. Carol was one of his models, but unsure if she was professional or amateur, but very photogenic and this shot of the two little toys balancing on her nice round boob is very cheeky! Thanks to Whyriley for sharing some of his work with me here :)
Ann Austin: Sleeping Beauty!
An original print of Ann Austin, apparently asleep in bed, but with the sheet down to give us a flash of one of her magnificent boobs! There is something quite voyeuristic about this shot and seeing Ann’s boob as she sleeps, which I assume was the point of the shot. I have several other shots from this set and the whole premise of the set is Ann sleeping nude between those silk sheets, slowly waking up and getting out of bed to reveal more of her glorious body in different poses. :)
Figure Photography by Philip Gotlop (1950’s)
Thanks to Paul from Firebird London I have a growing collection of nude studies by Philip Gotlop. British photographer Philip Gotlop started writing photography manuals in the 1940’s and 50’s. His titles included professional manuals, practical guides and studies on nude photography and the female figure. But it his work later in his career he is probably more well known for, as in the 1960’s his lens was more often pointed at the era’s entertainers, such as The Beatles, Cilla Black, Cliff Richard, Neil Sedaka, Johnny Cash, The Moody Blues, The Kinks, David Essex, Liberace and TV personalities such as David Frost and many others.
This collection is of over 250 prints of Gotlop’s nude studies and vary in size from 8½”x 6½” up to 10″x 8″ or larger. Many of the models are unknown, but all are shot in very classical nude poses, with the odd unconventional shot! I thought i’d share a few here to as they are very classical and see if people enjoy them?
