Making Hay With Margaret Warhurst


I original posted a version of this image here back in 2013 and it was an early attempt at restoring a downloaded copy of the image. Well I now have a better copy of the original that shows just how bad my first attempts at restoring images were! This comes from a direct scan of the Pamar slide mass produced for the market by Harrison Marks back in the late 1950’s and although still a copy (Interneg) of the original negative, the quality and colour is far superior to my original effort! The hay actually looks the right colour and until seeing this shot I didn’t realize Margaret had a blue headband in her hair! The slide also shows that it should be viewed this way, rather than my first version.

I have several shots of Diane Clare by Harrison Marks on the loft set posing within the bed and with this lamp, both black and white originals and colour Pamar slides. This one comes from Kevin and shows Diane bending over the lamp as though she’s about to blow it out. You also get to see a partial view of Diane’s abundant pussy. The rest of the shots posted from this set can be seen here.

A Right Knees-Up With Thelma

A restored print of Thelma, posing with one knee up! I don’t recall seeing this image of Thelma appearing in Kamera itself, but a fab shot of her regardless. It appears to be in the living room of GHM’s flat, as we can see that familiar diamond wallpaper on the walls again!

Nancy Roberts – A Walk on The Wild Side!

OK, more like a crawl, but I love this shot of Nancy Roberts kneeling on all fours in the grass, especially the look on her face! A very ‘You want it? Come and get it’ look as she poses like that.

Another from the set of Nancy taken in the grounds of Sheplegh Court in 1959, when she was a mere 20 years old! Looking at the details on the box of these glass plates I now recognise the handwriting as that of Leslie L. Bainbridge, editor of H&E (Health & Efficiency) magazine and then Girl Illustrated. Who also took a set of shots I’ve been posting of Lee Southern as well.

Rita Landre – Nothing But Fur! (1959)


Pamela Green, posing as Rita Landre with nothing but a white fur coat for cover! Taken by Harrison Marks and published in the 1959 hardback book, P54 ‘Pamela – A Portrait in 58 Studies’, a beautiful shot of Rita with a quizzical look on her face.

Vanda Hudson was an Actress/Model/Singer (1937-2004) that had small parts in a number of British movies in the 1950’s and 60’s. She appeared in a set of Pamar Colour Slides (1959), of which this is a scan of one of the slides, plus appearing twice in the 1959 Kamera Calendar. She appeared on the January page in a shot similar to above on the spotted background and the November page, with a fur stole and red background. It’s not known if she posed or appeared for Harrison Marks other than these times.

Just Jennifer (1959)

Jennifer Garland by Harrison Marks from the colour centre pages of Kamera No.20 P16 (1959). I don’t know if it’s just the colours used, but a lot of the colour shots of Jennifer seem to have her with very pink/red nipples or maybe that was a trait of her skin tone, if she was a true redhead? A great classical shot of Jennifer from an early Kamera.
