A double meaning to the title this time, in that it’s a play on Eva’s surname Wild and a bit of a wild shot as she’s laying on a leopardskin rug :) Still a great early shot of Eva Wild by Harrison Marks, but he did like his animal skin rugs back then didn’t he!

Two restored shots from original prints of Rochelle Lofting from the 1950’s. These come from a set of four prints of Rochelle sent over by Oxxbridge Galleries and having an educated guess I’d say these look like Harrison Marks shots, but I’m not 100% certain? These two shots also show her pretty prominent smallpox vaccination scar on her upper arm.

An artistic pose from Josephine Watson from Kamera No.11 P15 (1958) as she kneels leaning on a small statue base. Her face may be slightly obscured, but we still get a great view of her figure in this very arty shot from GHM.

Gloria Conlan posing astride a Tiger headed rug from Kamera No.7 P4 (1958) and sorry I can’t resist a good double entendre when I see one, but god that’s a big pussy between her legs! :) Now that’s out the way I do wonder if Harrison Marks also did this shot with that very joke in mind, one does wonder? Jokes aside Gloria has a great figure and this is the last of two images of Gloria that appear in Kamera No.7.
A cheeky little shot of June Simpson from an original Pamar colour slide. Another Harrison Marks shot from this studio set of June, but this has great use of shadows to give June’s back and bottom great shape and contrast. What a view of her arse and one of my favourite sets of June, but wait till you see the set of her posing nude in a paddling pool!

Two restored prints of Josephine Watson by Harrison Marks. After having only a few shots of her and not knowing who she was I now have several sets of her by GHM, one of which she is posing in front of the familiar floral wallpaper, like these two shots. Very striking feline like make-up and love the rear view in the second shot, as you get to see the dimples on her bum, plus the perfect shape of her boob!
I’ve published the dark haired beauty in this shot before and have several other shots of her, but I first came across her in this shot posing with Jean Rogers. Jean is another late 1950s model that caught my eye, or at least her big tits did! She appears in many late 1950s prints, both alone and with other models and seems to enjoy changing her hairstyle frequently, mostly with wigs, as I’ve seen her with short blonde hair and darker variations.
The other thing I like about Jean is her figure, as it’s truly a natural curvy figure with a bit of a tummy on her, which isn’t a bad thing as it just makes her look even better. A great contrast in this shot between the models, a sort of thick and thin combination to enjoy!
A very elegant looking Jean Spaul (Sporle) from Kamera No.4 P4 (1957) who not only posed nude for many of the early Kamera editions, but also got the job as one of the girls in the office at Harrison Marks studio. What an office stunner!
Another restored print from the Oxxbridge collection, but this time a Harrison Marks shot of Thelma laying on the leopardskin rug! This shot appears to have been taken in the late 1950s, as similar shots with the same rug appear in both Kamera No.4 (1957) and Kamera No.11 (1958), the latter featuring Thelma in colour on the cover and centre pages. Shots that appeared in Kamera and some that weren’t were also mass printed and sold as individual prints and postcards and sold (probably under the counter in plain brown paper bags!) to the discerning collector.

I’m currently going through a huge collection of early vintage glamour images and helping Oxxbridge Galleries to identify the models in them. As part of that deal they are kindly providing high resolution scans of some of the prints I’m interested in to share on this site. One small set of 8 images I helped identify was that of Nancy Roberts and the above shot is restored from one of those prints. In most of the shots Nancy is posing naked with a big smile of her face, a combination you don’t often see (Well the big smile anyway!), but regardless of the smile Nancy looks as stunning as ever and in this set she also seems to be wearing a huge set of bangles.
I also had contact from a new member today who remembers seeing Nancy in magazines and on TV back in his youth and wondered if I had any images of her? I sure do as you can see :)
