Raunchy Rita (1959)

A full on frontal view of Rita Landre (Pam Green) from Kamera No.19 (1959) as she looks down on you from above. In a strange erotic way it’s quite a domineering look she’s giving, as if to say look, but touch if you dare! I’d risk it :) The retouching on this shot is good for a change, as the way the shadows fall and the fact Pam was shaven all help reduce the retouching required on this shot.

Jean Belvin Revealed! (1958)

This model or her name has been frustrating me since I started this blog a few years ago and the shot below was one of the first image restorations that I did.  She’s been on my unknown model list as No.4 for a long time, that is up until now thanks to Jeff.

Jeff has now identified the model as Jean Belvin, who not only appears in Kamera No.11 (1958), but other early Kamera publications such as Kamera Special No.2 (1958) and Toco magazines and Carnival Magazine (June 1958) as sent through by Jeff below

Jean Belvin-01

Thanks Jeff, another frustrating unknown model identified :)

An Uplifting Thelma (1957)

A shot of the Latin lolita ‘Thelma’ from Kamera No.4 (1957), but looks can be deceptive and who’s to say she didn’t come from London either a bit like Julie (Shearing). Regardless of where she originally came from at least I have a few more shots of this beauty and a cracking side shot of her this one is, love the uplifting boob and dark nipple on view!

June Simpson – Mirror Mirror on The Wall! (Original)

And June Simpson is definitely the fairest of them all! A perfectly framed original from Kevin of June Simpson by Harrison Marks posing in front of a mirror in his Gerrard Street flat from the late 1950’s. You see a great profile of her body and exposed tits in the main shot and a clear shot of her face in the mirror reflection. A cleaver but stunning shot and Thanks to Kevin for sending it over.

Lynn's Luscious Lips (1962)

The stunningly gorgeous Lynn Shaw and those perfectly luscious lips! Although taken in the mid 1950’s this version of the shot appears in Fotag No.2 (1962), but it originally appeared in Kamera No.2 (1957). Lynn Shaw is without doubt one of the most stunning early GHM models I have seen with those eyes and lips!
I’ve published a set of the Fotag magazine covers here, but I’m not sure if it’s a full set as even the official GHM publication database only lists 6 issues, whereas I have 8 covers! Apart from its title and the fact that it did not carry the name ‘Harrison Marks’ on its cover, it is in virtually every other respect just like Kamera, with 48 pages plus cover in the same format and layout. Even many of the photographs reproduced were the same photos used in Kamera and other associated magazines.

Jean Spaul & Gaby Rougier (1958)

Jean Spaul (Sporle) and the model now identified as Gaby Rougier from Kamera No.17 (1958). Jean and Gaby appear multiple times together in Kamera No.17 and Kamera No.29, with Gaby also appearing solo in Kamera No.29. Thanks to Jeff for another good spot at identifying Gaby, who also appears in Fiesta Autumn Special 1957.

Further evidence below from Jeff to support his theory this is one such model named Gaby Rougier, as she is named in the article and has the beauty spot!

Gaby sent through by Phil D, doesn’t seem to be the same person or maybe just a few years older?

Pamela Green on the Rocks! (1952)

An early shot of Pamela Green posing on the rocks taken by Zoltan Glass in 1952 and one of her still with her darker hair. I’m unsure as to where this image actually got published, so if anyone knows please do let me know?

The Graceful Curves of Doris!

Another model identified this time by PhilD, who originally sent through the top shot for identification in this post and then identified his own request :) Phil later identified the model as Doris Hurst and sent through the bottom image of her from Beautiful Britons No.8 and definitely the same model.
Thanks to Phil another from the unknown models list identified!

Could It Be Gloria? (1958)


I published an image of this model from Kamera No.7 (1958), where she appears twice on a Tiger skin rug. After that post, a member mailed me with a possible identification of her, as Gloria Conlan, but I’m still not 100% convinced? I actually published a set of photo’s of Gloria Conlan by Harrison Marks that appeared in the Fiesta Spring Special 1957 (Pages 46-49), so the timeline works.  She also appears in the above shot from Kamera Special No.2 (1958).
