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
I’ve seen this shot and others from the same set of 35mm colour slides a few times before, but they were always very bad quality and didn’t seem to stand the test of time very well. That was until I got sent several of Helena McGuire and another model posing on a very 1960’s sun lounger exposing her body and magnificent bush to the sun, despite the fact it’s in a studio!
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. :)
Bobby Shaw (Laurie Sands aka Julie Desmond) posing for Harrison Marks kneeling on a sheepskin rug in front of that bizarre background. Every time I see it, I’m reminded of the yellow brick road for some reason! Fabulous shot of Bobby showing off her lush bush, and from the same set as this shot. Thanks as always to Kevin for this shot of Bobby from an original negative. :)

I think this shot is the closest I’ve seen of Nicky showing us an uncensored shot of what’s between her legs? You still don’t see much, but you can see she’s shaven, which I had guessed and maybe just a hint more but that’s it! A very modest girl it seems, but I’m sure she must have opened her legs further for someone, maybe GHM in private?

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?

For some reason I really like this shot of Lorraine Burnett! I don’t know if it’s the hair (wig?) or the way she is posing her body, but I like it. I don’t think it’s the hair, so it must be the curves and pose and probably the fact you can’t see her face fully :)
A stunning nude shot of June posing on a rustic wooden bridge over the pond in the grounds of Ewhurst Manor from the Ewhurst Escapades set. June looks very elegant in this shot as she kneels there with her long hair and earrings.

An original image from John W restored from a 35mm negative of June Palmer nearly wearing a very skimpy negligee from the 1970’s. Some very well placed hands to give support and hide the naughty bits, although she wasn’t afraid to show them discreetly at times. Thanks to John for this and one other shot from the same set that I’ll post soon.
I’d completely forgot I’d already posted three shots from this set already, that John had previously sent over.
A very classical 1950s look from Valerie Williams in this restored silver gelatin photo from Girlymag. A stunningly beautiful topless shot of Valerie.

A shot of Nancy Roberts by Russell Gay posing against a fake wall in just a pair of fancy knickers. I wonder if undoing that bow gives access to all areas?
