The beautiful tri-coloured cover of Line and Form No.12 featuring Gloria Latham from the late 1950’s. The covers of this magazine were superb and featured various posed models in shadows with most highlighted with a single colour such as this one.

The very busty Jean Rogers in long black gloves, black panties and stockings and a very unusual black furry hat! I’m not sure about the hat, but hey who cares!

Pam The Hula Girl (Original)

I have a set of 6 prints of Pamela Green posing as a Hula Girl like this, but this is the first colour version I’ve seen of her thanks to member Simon. Scanned from a Pamar colour slide this was probably taken in the late 1950’s as the hula skirt appears on an unknown model in Kamera Special No.1 (1957). The Pamar slide can vary in quality from very poor to really good, with little degradation to colours like this shot.

A Netted Julie (1958)

The visually stunning and equally seductive Julie (Shearing) from Solo No.4 (1958) by Harrison Marks. Julie has to be one of the most exotic looking models that posed for GHM, even though she originated from London and this set of her is no exception. I love the use of the fishing net and once again she’s wearing a set of big earrings, which seems to be part of her signature look. Shots from this same set also appeared in later GHM publications such as Kamera no.7 and Kamera No.40.

Lorraine Burnett – Goofy Curves (Original)

A shot of a young, slightly goofy looking Lorraine Burnett from the late 1950’s, posing nude with what seems to be a long dark ponytail hair extension. Lorraine’s figure was fabulous, but sometimes she needed to keep her mouth closed as her buck front teeth sometimes didn’t do her a favour! Having had a quick look through her shots later in her career, she did keep her mouth shut and tended to pout more, which was a much better look.

 

The Exquisite Lynn Shaw

A restored silver gelatin photo of Lynn Shaw from the late 1950s and sent over by Girlymag. If ever there was a model that typified the glamour style of the late 1950s, surely it was Lynn. Those lips and her shapely body are, as the title says, exquisite!

A Brush with Pat Davis


Pat Davis by Harrison Marks, posing on the loft set as she sits on a crate and toys with an artist’s paint brush! Although images of Pat taken by GHM appear throughout several editions of Kamera, including No.19 and No.20 (1958/59), then later editions. Pat only posed for Harrison Marks on one occasion during the Winter of 1958/59, probably not long before shots similar to the one above appeared in Kamera No.19.

A fabulous pose from Pat and her legs seems to be oiled, but the rest of her doesn’t, although I have seen many shots of her covered in oil as well :)

 

The Harrison Marks Glamour Guide (1950’s)


This one of the early glamour guides and showcases 1600 photos of various models in sets of 5 photos, including 252 sets of 5½ by 3½ glossy photo’s, 72 sets of Stereoscopic sets and a special set of 10 Rita Landre prints. Looking through all the sets listed, I see I have a fair few in my collection, but probably very few full sets, although it’s difficult to actually say as you only see one image from each set. Some very familiar early GHM models listed and some from my unknown list. :)

The full guide can be seen here.
