A closer shot of Marie Deveraux by Harrison Marks from a medium format negative. A beautiful figure study of a kneeling Marie showing off her perfect curves. Superb lines and form. :)
Marie's Perfect Curves
Light & Shade Magazine Covers (1950’s)
A set of covers from the publication ‘Light & Shade’ from the late 1950s. I have a set of 15 covers from No.1 to No.15, but have no idea if that is a full set? These were produced by Russell Gay and published by Dalrow Publication Ltd. Pennine Publications, Bolton. A very similar set of magazines in the same style, including Tricoloured covers was published under the title ‘Line & Form’, but by Eva Grant (I also have a set of these to edit and post).
I love the covers of this magazine, especially the use of one primary colour per cover. I think my favourites are No.8, No.9 (June Simpson) and No.12.
Marie Deveraux: Support Required!
Marie Deveraux posing nude with a chair from a restored late 1950s silver gelatin photo. A fabulous view of Marie’s body as she leans forward over the chair, showing of her figure and chest.
Top Heavy Della!
A stunning view from above of Della Fox showing off her magnificent chest. Della isn’t a small girl when it comes to tits, but in this shot they look big! It must be laying on her back and the way she is supporting them that enhances the size. Love the glitz of the jewellery and that big smile as she looks up.
Julie Sheer(ing)
Julie Shearing in a sheer black négligée, posing for Harrison Marks in 1958. This perfect pose went on to be published in Solo No.4 P22, showing off a full complement of Julie images.
Tina Madison: Gloriously Restored!
Tina Madison from a restored 6 × 4 print, that I had seen before, but the clarity and colours in this copy are superb! It’s also a very nice shot of Tina, to be fair, and I have several others of her from the same set. I normally crop off the border, but I’ve just left the print as is this time and just restored the colour and removed the odd speck of dust. So borders on or off?
A Right Royal View (1957)
The beautiful and popular mid-fifties model Carol Royal posing for Harrison Marks in Kamera No.1 P21 (1957). Although Carol appeared on several early Harrison Marks postcards, she only appeared in 4 photographs in GHM publications, Kamera No.1 (P21 & P24), Kamera No.3 (P.14) and In Focus No.1 (P.27). A classic beauty with a stunning smile.
A Flexible June Simpson
Two flexible shots of June Simpson by Harrison Marks from restored Pamar 35 mm colour slides in my collection. What a pose from June Simpson, showing off that fantastic flexible figure bent over backwards, giving us a different view of her body! One shot taken in the studio, the other in the conservatory at Pamela Green’s parent’s house in Kent in 1958/59. I wonder if there was a view from the front as well. ;)
Rosa Domaille: Solo No.3 Cover (1958)
Rosa Domaille (Eve Eden) on the cover of Solo No.3 (1958) by Harrison Marks. A great early copy of Solo, featuring some great shots of Rosa before she became the slightly more respectable Eve Eden.
Lyn Hamilton: A Poised Pose!
Lyn Hamilton showing off her perfect figure in this restored silver gelatin print from the late 1950’s. A very classical nude pose as she kneels nude in the studio with her hands on her legs.
