Dawn Grayson – Dawn of Man

Dawn Grayson from the pages of Carnival Magazine (September 1969) with longer hair than normal seen. I don’t know the location, but Dawn looks good posing outdoors wherever it is! Thanks to Beutelwolf from VEF for scanning and sharing this article.

Velma Loftus – All The Way From South Africa?

A great shot of Velma Loftus and her glorious bush from 1969. Unknown publication but the bottom right gives the date and that it came from Tudor House publications and god knows what the reference to South Africa is, maybe girls of the world?

An Early Rita Landre?

I spotted this shot over on the tumblr of Honey-Rider (I love that name!) and I’m pretty certain it’s Pamela Green and may even be an early one of her as Rita Landre? I know it’s Pam by the mole just above her bikini line and the figure and face, whatever the wig are so recognisable. I’d put it at late 1950’s by Harrison Marks, but no idea if it was ever published anywhere as I’d not seen it before. Cracking shot though :)

Della Fox – Alley Pose

Another shot of Della Fox from this set of photo’s, but this one appeared in Kamera No.41 (1962). I love the dramatic use of the hands, but not so much the retouching of the pubic region!

Bedtime With Hazel

Hazel Taylor perched on the bedside looking ready for something, but not sure it’s bedtime! Morning or night she would definitely get me up! Great shot publication unknown but reprinted in the 1960’s Glamour Book.

Pamela The Blond Bombshell

If you’d not guessed I’m having a Pamela day and the different aliases that she posed under or hair colours she used. Here we have probably the most familiar and iconic view of Pam with her long blonde hair that she was more synonymous with later in her career. A beautiful view of her blonde locks and figure in this show on the witches coven set from ‘Just Pamela Green’.

Princess Sonmar Harricks – Beauty In The Barn

Princess Sonmar Harricks (Pamela Green) posing in the hay barn from Kamera No.37 (1961) with a very strategically placed thumb! The pubic region may look retouched, but it’s known she shaved to reduce the retouching, so the thumb is very well placed or GHM got the angle of the shot spot on!

June Simpson – Kamera Special No.1

I’ve already published a copy of this cover on the ‘Specials and Calendar’s’ page, but this is a scan from my own copy which was my latest purchase via eBay and arrived last week. Published by Harrison Marks in December 1957 the cover features June Simpson, one of the favourite 50’s models.

The above image has been restored to remove several creases and the edge was well worn, but the overall condition of this magazine of over 57 years is very good. Like all Kamera editions it’s a small digest size magazine featuring 98 pages of your favourite early Harrison Marks models. These include Pamela Green, June Simpson, Marie Deveraux, Julie, June Russell, Diane Hedges, Maxine, Eva Wild and Lydia Barton to name a few.

An excellent addition to my growing Kamera collection, which now stands at 9 standard Kamera Editions, Kamera Special No.1, Kamera Backstage and the 1960 Kamera Calendar. Plenty more to collect and keep me going :)
