It’s always good too make new contacts with similar interests, but then who doesn’t like looking at naked women from the past? So it was great to receive contact from John at Oxxbridge Galleries in New York. John is the owner of a New York City based gallery that specializes in nude photography and presently they have a project under way where they are trying to identify a large number of vintage nude model photos from the 1950’s-1960’s. They use to have someone who did this for them, but he is getting on in his years and his health no longer allows him to do this. So they contacted me via the site, as long time admirers and wondered if I knew of anyone who would be interested in such a position. I said I would post the details of the position (below) to see if anyone that uses my site would be interested.

John also runs a large eBay site, selling a large selection of Vintage erotica, which you can find a link to here, but it is based on eBay.com, so you may not get to see all the great images, as they seem to block some adult content if you access the site outside of the US!

Not only that, but John sent me some great vintage images that I can share on the site as well, such as the one above. Not my normal subject area, but who could resist an unknown model with a fantastic body and I just love the padded fireplace in the background! I have others from John to share and look forward to seeing more over time, but it’s always good to make new contacts with shared interests, so thanks John for the images and making contact :)

John’s advert:

NYC art gallery has a part time position available for someone who is knowledgeable about vintage  nude female models from 1950’s-1960’s. We are seeking someone to help us identify photographs of these women. The position is for pay and is ongoing as we regularly get new photographs. The successful applicant would work remotely from home identifying digital images we sent them. The models to be identified are a mix of early burlesque stars, adult models and mainstream movie stars from 1949-1969. If interested in the position please email us at oxxbridge@gmail.com

All Aboard with Pamela Green! (Original)

A restored colour shot from a Pamar slide of Pamela Green posing nude on a rowing boat on the Isles of Scilly in 1958. This shot along with a few other’s I have were taken by Harrison Marks as part of a shoot for his hardback book ‘Kamera on Location’. There are several different shots of Pam posing with this rowing boat within the book and all black and white, but these are the first I’ve seen in colour. Beautiful views in the background and foreground for all to see :)

Backstage with Pam, Mary & Madeleine (1959)


Two shots of Pamela Green, Mary Deighan and Madeleine Mado (Maria Hale) from Kamera Backstage (1959). Both shots are very elegantly done, with all 3 models fitting well into the same shot. My favourite is the top shot with Mary and Pam wearing the nipple covers or pasties, whatever they are called, and Madeleine in the background. The bottom shot is all about the use of light and shadows bouncing off the bodies of the 3 girls, and it works very well with the shape of the bodies and the different perspectives. One of my favourite early Kamera Specials. :)

An upfront image of 1960’s model Paula King giving us an eye watering view of her plumped up cleavage from the 1960’s Glamour book. That blouse is only just keeping them in!

June Palmer – A Brolly Good Show! (Original)

An early colour shot of June posing with just an umbrella as cover! Restored from an original colour negative from John, this shows a young June posing nude with just an umbrella as a prop. I’m not sure if this was ever published, but I’m sure I’ve seen this shot or similar with the umbrella somewhere before, but at the moment exactly where escapes me.

For The Love of Lisa!

Not really relevant other than it’s a great quality shot from a medium negative scan and worthy of sharing!

The 1970’s Porn-star, with the equally appropriate name, Lisa Love, who was also known by the more boring names of Sally O’Neil or Gertrude. Nothing boring about this shot of Lisa and her lush body and pussy and I have a few more of her to share at some point :)

June Simpson: Platinum Waves


With her typical 1950s wavy blonde hair, June Simpson was a regular feature in the early publications of Harrison Marks, appearing in Kamera No.2, 3, 8, 10, 11, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 34 & 35, plus appearances in some of his other lesser known publications. She also had Solo No.5 devoted to her, as well as appearing on the cover and inside pages of Kamera Special No.1, along with appearances in Kamera Special No.2, No.3 and No.5.

The above image is an early shot of June by Harrison Marks from an original negative taken in the late 1950s, and features the familiar daisy wallpaper backdrop and leopardskin rug.

Maria Frost – Always a Good Girl!


Until last week I think I only had one image of Maria Frost and then Terry sent me one of his originals (coming soon!), closely followed by me finding the above shot. This shot again appears on P267 of the ‘1950’s Glamour Book’ which seems to be predominately work by Russell Gay, so this could be a Terry shot as well? Having now dug around for other shots of Maria, two things stand out. One, she likes her wigs, as she almost always seems to be wearing one in the shots I’ve seen and two, she wears the chain and cross in many as well, so obviously a good little church going girl!  Although if you manage to see her appearance in the 1970 Harrison Marks film ‘A Hit For Two Miss’s’ appearing with Angela Duncan, she doesn’t look so innocent to me! She also appears in a second GHM film, also in 1970 called ‘Scouts Honour’
