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.

A Cheeky One From June Wilkinson


June Wilkinson posed nude kneeling on a chair from a set of 5½  by 3½ glossy prints of June by Harrison Marks. These were advertised in ‘The Harrison Marks Glamour Guide’ under set No.358 and cost the princely sum of ten shillings per set, but worth every penny, I would say!

In Focus by Harrison Marks

‘In Focus’ was another Kamera style pocketbook that Kamera Publications launched in 1957. As far as I can ascertain there were 21 issues produced, with the final issue being published sometime in 1964. The content and images used are again very similar to that of Kamera, with photo’s taken of the models used across both publications. There are a lot of well known models used, including early Pamela Green/Rita Landre shots, but also a few more unknown models appearing.

Listed below are covers of all editions that I currently have in my collection (Thanks to Firebird London), but you will notice that No.1, No.16 and No.19 are missing, so if anyone has a decent large copy of those I’d appreciate a copy? You will also notice some familiar models and figures appearing on the covers and I can name all but a few. So, again if anyone knows who the models are on No.8, 10, 12, 17 and No.20 please do let me know.
