A couple of shots of Karen Cooknell scanned from the original negatives. I believe she was a UK based model from the 1960s, and I’m not sure if that isn’t a wig!
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
Three stunning new shots of 1960s ebony beauty Nicole Isimat by Serge Jacques.
Nicole showing off her thick bushy curls, highlighted by a nice pair of netted stockings and belt, as she reclines on the bed. She appeared in several late 1960s publications, mainly in Europe, including the cover and back page of Cover Girl No.12, as well as several pages inside.


A studio shot of Princess Sonmar Harriks by Harrison Marks. This was of course one of the characters created by Harrison Marks and Pamela Green, who came up with this dark-coloured Princess. The body although completely covered in boot polish is flawless in this shot, although as I’ve said I doubt you’d get away with that today!
A stunning studio shot and another side of Pamela Green for people to enjoy now and then.
A very happy looking Julie Shearing, leaning back on a chair and posing for Harrison Marks. This comes from an original silver gelatin photo taken in the late 1950s of Julie posing at a dressing table in just fishnet stockings. The familiar daisy wallpaper is present, as are the trademark big dangly earrings that Julie seemed to always favour. A very interactive shot of Julie showing off her great body.
A perky blonde named Gisa taken by Paul Pantha on location at some house in January 1967 from a set of contact sheets sent over by Kevin. This is another case of different names for different people, in this case both the model and the photographer.
The photographer Paul Panta is none other than Terry Sparks and Gisa is more well known as UK model Susan Shaw, with these shots of her being taken early in her career. If you go have a look at her over on VEF she went on to have a long and varied career, including appearances in Parade, Fiesta and Mayfair and plenty of Page 3 type work. She also had a foray into the more explicit and hardcore work, as well as posing with James Hunt and appearing on numerous record covers!
Terry also went under the name Paul Pantha as a photographer when he worked for Russell Gay, before later using his own name. I have several other sets of contact sheets by Paul Pantha with more to come, but isn’t it sad that I recognised the photo’s as Terry’s work immediately, which he has since verified.
A beautiful shot of Susan posing on the doorstep in panties and a nice open towelling top, which must have been all the fashion back then as she has a matching towelling swimsuit in other shots :)
Another model from my collection of contact sheets from the Cover Girl/Excite Magazines, with this one teasing us to what she has below her jumper! I have several sets of this model but for some reason only two of her in this jumper. I love her figure as she lifts her jumper to reveal it below, especially that slight curve to her stomach as she kneels on the chair! Nice heels and stockings as well :)
