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
Another tantalizing shot of Anna Verdi by Harrison Marks, taken in his flat in 1968. I love this rearview shot of her kneeling in just stay ups, presenting her beautiful arse for the camera and many admiring viewers. What an offering from Anna. ;)
It feels like a rounded rear kind of day! A very nice duo kneeling on all fours on a bed showing off some superb rear views! Two very different figures with different shapes and sizes and know which one I prefer if I had to choose, but why choose at all. ;)
A young June Palmer posing sat on a desk in an office setting. I’ve classed this as a non-nude shot, but that bra has just slipped enough to see a bit of areola! This shot is from the original medium format negative, but a print of this shot appeared in Spick & Span I believe?
Regardless, it’s a fantastic shot of June showing off some leg and a bit of boob!
Another shot of Tracy Reeves posing in a living room setting. In this, she is teasing the viewer with what lies beneath those white panties. Although later shots in the set, she’s more than happy to reveal what she has to offer! ;)
What a smile and what a great figure. This shot comes from a set of negatives I have and features Tina McLaren in several poses on the bed and in the bath. All show off her fantastic smile and body to great effect.
The images look to be early 1960s and taken in the UK. I say that only because I have shots of Caron Gardiner, Virginia Green and others posing on the same bed.
On the rocks with June Palmer on holiday in the 1960s. Taken by Arthur Howell, we get a great view of June’s body and figure as she tiptoes down to the sea edge.
A couple of the deliveries this week, but some books rather than prints or negatives. The books in question were both published by Taschen and featured the work of Serge Jacques, so not your typical coffee table books you could leave out for guests to flick through!
The first book was titled Icons with the orange cover and featured 190 pages of Jacques work, with many of them typical front and rear shots, as shown below. There’s a small introduction about his life and work and how he pushed the boundaries of uncensored glamour shots.
The second book, which I believe was the earlier book of the two, was much bigger at 766 pages. The cover is the same as the first book, but not as arty. The spine also features a great shot of Margaret Nolan. The book is split into several sections featuring Jacques work on Folies De Paris Et De Hollywood, at the studio, downtown and in the country. But all the photo’s have the signature Serge Jacques style of naturally uncensored shots. His groundbreaking nudes in the 1950s were often deemed obscene because he revealed his models’ pubic hair. He faced countless arrests, blacklists, and regular raids on his studio and darkroom.
Two great books full of uncensored open legged shots, but the small one does duplicate a lot from he bigger book. There are also some surprises, like shots of Ann Austin, June Palmer and other GHM models that posed for Jacques.
Incidentally, I also have an original black and white uncensored print of the model that poses on the covers. I’ll have to post at some point. ;)
A set of five 35 mm black and white negatives of a model only known as Suki. Taken at Criertion studio’s in 1979 of her posing in a popular rattan type basket chair.
Suki looks fabulous in her pulled up striped socks and scarf, all highlighting her body and hairy pussy as she sits with her legs crossed but open enough to tease. Another model I’ve not come across before other than this set, but one I rather like. :)
A beautifully restored 10 by 8 print of Angela Jones at Ewhurst Manor. Angela looks glorious sat out at Ewhurst in her shades and stockings perched on that white wrought iron bench. Printed on the back of this original print are details of where this image was published. It seems to have been heading for Black Nylons Vol.1 No.10 in a tighter cropped version than this. :)
This slicked up shot of a glistening body is of Erica as if you needed to guess and comes from Kamera No.20 P32 (1959). As I’ve said before, it seems that Harrison Marks had a thing for Erica oiled up, as I’ve seen more or Erica with oil on her body than not. Just an observation, as what’s not to like about seeing Erica or her body at least and those oiled curves!
