Thelma a Deceiving Look!


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.

Nancy Roberts – Naked & Happy! (Original)

[nonmember][/nonmember]

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 :)

Sophisticated Sylvana! (Original)


A smoking hot shot of a very sophisticated, but nude Sylvana Manto (Madelaine Bannister) posing in long black gloves from the late 1950s.

A very sexy, sophisticated look with those long black gloves, earrings, and the cigarette holder. Although, the cigarette would be frowned upon today. Still, it’s a fabulous shot of Sylvana and her curves. :)

June Palmer – Cardigan, Leggings & Tree! (Original)

Another original shot of a young June Palmer posing in spotted leggings and black cardigan, as she poses against a tree. This is the start of another mini set of 12 images of June and the Tree from a 35mm film strip sent over by John. They aren’t as good quality as some of the larger format negatives, but with a little tweaking and scratch removal they come up pretty well, like this shot. This shot is about as risky as the shots I’ve got go, with one boob and nipple exposed. I’m sure there must be further films out there where she removes more, but maybe not?

Teresa Seymour (1950’s)

A rare shot from a restored 10 by 8 print of Teresa Seymour, whom posed for Harrison Marks in the mid-fifties and only featured on early postcard sets and two photos of her were published in Kamera No.1 (1957). I’m not sure if this was taken by GHM, but a great close up shot of Teresa’s best assets! Incidentally one of the two shots of Teresa published in Kamera No.1 has her sat naked drinking from a cup and saucer, well why not! Thanks to Oxxbridge Galleries for allowing me to post a selection of their vast archive of original images.

Judy Geeson (Original)

I’ve come across this model before in the shape of prints of her alone and with other models from the late 1950’s or early 60’s, but never been able to identify her. She re-appeared in my inbox yesterday after a conversation with Kevin about unknown models, who then sent me this shot. What is so stunning about this print, is the quality of the scan from a print that is over 50 years old, to the extent you could be mistaken for thinking it was a modern day photo. Secondly, the sheer beauty and elegance of the shot, the model looks stunning not only in her fishnets and underwear, but also her face and look and she’s not even naked! Although I do have other shots of her naked :)

Thanks to Kevin for this stunning beauty and worthy of being shared here.

Update: I now know who this is! It’s 1950’s US model Judy Geeson :)

Rona’s Low Hanging Fruits! (Original)

A pendulous view of Rona Scott and those fabulous big hanging tits of hers, as she strips out of her stockings. From a restored 10 by 8 print, that seems to be from the same set as this shot that appeared in the ‘Big Book of Breasts’ as the sofa and curtains in the background are the same.

June Palmer – S’Trips On The River – Part II (Video)

Now this was a pleasant surprise! A few weeks ago John W sent me another disc of June films from his collection that he had digitized, most were titles I know about, but sat amongst them was this little gem! A 8mm black and white film featuring June I hadn’t seen or known about! The title of the film pretty much says it all, as it features a young June and unknown friend, stripping on the river.

Details of the film can be seen in the box cover below, but it seems to have been produced by Stag Films and was film No.113 featuring Jane (June) and Gina messing about on the river. The other interesting thing is this is part 2, so there is another part to this film out there! I have no idea where or when this was filmed, but at several points during the film both June and Gina are seen coyly waving at passers by, luck them getting that view.

Enjoy this great little find of a new June film :)

Pat Davis: A Perfect Pair!



A younger looking Pat Davis from a scan of an original print, which looks to have been taken by Harrison Marks? Regardless of who took it, a fantastic shot of Pat and her huge areola! Thanks to Oxxbridge Galleries for allowing me to post a selection of their vast archive of original images.
