June Russell – Femme Cover (1958)


Crushing corsets is June Russell on the cover of the Harrison Marks publication Femme. The first issue of Femme appeared in the summer of 1958. It had a Harrison Marks’ photograph of June Russell on the cover, but it featured photographs ‘from Britain, America, and the Continent’ of nude and seminude female models by other photographers as well as GHM himself. The 1958 edition had no issue number and may have been a one-off, but another issue appeared some time later. From this issue, ‘Femme’ reverted to the tried and tested 7″x 5″ pocketbook size and appeared as The New Femme No.1.

A stunning shot of June Russell in white corset, pink frilly knickers and fishnets and the floral wallpaper makes an appearance in many of GHM’s early shots.

June Palmer – Long Haired Lover!


A beautiful shot of a young June Palmer from a restored set of 35 mm colour negatives. I think the long dark hair isn’t real but a hair extension? I also love those pink, slightly parted lips. :)

Look out for a big June update in the coming weeks. I have so many images of June, it’s hard to keep up with them all. So I’m going to publish full sets of her that I’ve collated over the years. Sets will range from her very early years, with key photographers such as Harrison Marks, and sets of her later in her career. Members will of course have full access to the larger images without watermarks.

The Luscious Lines of Lynn


The visually stunning Lynn Shaw from a restored original silver gelatin photo. I love this shot of Lynn and her gorgeous body and the way she is posed sat on that chair! Perfect lines and curves. :)

June Palmer – A Closet Strip!


A revisited shot of a stunning young June Palmer posing in front of a wardrobe wearing a dark fur shoal, scanned and restored from an original 35 mm Kodak slide. I love this shot of June with long hair stood with hands on hips as she looks at the camera, with a hint of shaved pubis showing as well! The original slide was faded and red, so the restoration is pretty good, even if slightly grainy.

Tempting Views of Toni Rees

Three very tempting views of Toni Rees from a restored silver gelatin photo. What a fabulous body she had as she stands against the floral wallpaper, flaunting her beautiful tits and curves for the camera.

Pamela Green – Red & Blue (1958)


A restored shot of Pamela Green by Harrison Marks from a 35 mm colour slide taken back in 1958. Nothing too risqué about the shot, but love the pose with her curved hip to one side like that and that bountiful bust popping out between that blue leotard. A fabulous contrast between Pam’s red hair and the blue outfit as well. A classic 1950s pose that will have surely adorned the pages of an early Fiesta magazine.

Unfortunately the slide is a bit damaged, so the image isn’t as crystal clear as it could be, not that it detracts from the overall view :)

1950’s Bathroom Sink Shots!

Now this is a different set, but one that when I saw it totally intrigued me! A set of ten prints of an unknown woman from the 1950s, posing in the bathroom.

The woman doesn’t look like a model, more like a wife (wedding ring!) that’s been out to a party, possibly New Year, and been talked into posing nude by her husband in the hotel room after returning. What’s with the shot of her sat in the sink, although it has a certain erotic feel to it if I’m honest, and the shot that caught my attention. I’m probably totally wrong with my idea behind the shots, but I like it and thought I’d share the shots anyway, as she has a cracking body as well. :)
