This is my second book-related post this week! For those of you with long memories, you may remember that way back in 1992 Pamela Green wrote the foreword to David McGillivray’s book Doing Rude Things: The History of the British Sex Film, 1957-81. It was the first serious study of Continue Reading
Books
Take a look at our collection of books that unveil the glamour photography of the 1950s and 1960s. Peel back the pages as you explore biographies of influential figures like George Harrison Marks, gaining insight into the artists behind the lens, immerse yourself in monographs dedicated to iconic photographers such as Stephen Glass and Eva Grant, and explore the history of Nudist movies.

Sussex Maidens by Roy Wyatt
Sussex Maidens by Roy Wyatt, with a supplement of photographs of the nude by Stephen Glass, was first published in September 1949 by The Naturist. Sorting through some pictures I came across the negative of the cover image. The book is a rather amusing read with such chapters as Tall Continue Reading
How to Take Glamour Studies
I’ve been meaning to do this for ages, and I finally got around to doing it. I’ve collected together a series of articles, that George Harrison Marks wrote in the 1950s on how to take glamour studies. You can download a free copy of the 67-page booklet when you subscribe to Continue Reading
Publications by The Naturist
The magazine The Naturist published a series of pocket books of around 60 pages with a photographic supplement in the middle. These supplements were often by Stephen Glass, the brother of Zoltán Glass. Pamela appears in Nudist Life at Spielplatz. Here is a list of the publications for any of Continue Reading
Second Sitting revisted
Here’s another image of Pamela Green by John Everard. As before the image was taken around 1953/4 and appears in the book Second Sitting: Another Artist’s Model (The Bodley Head, London, 1954).
Second Sitting: Another Artist’s Model
Images by John Everard often appear eBay, but these photogravure prints are just pages ripped from his books, so it is quite a treat to come across an original print by him, especially one of Pamela Green. The image was taken around 1953/4 and appears in the book Second Sitting: Continue Reading
A Bibliography of John Everard
Below is a list of John Everard books. The only two which are not figure studies are Photographs for the Papers and Seen in England. As you can see he had rather a long career, what with his first book having been published in 1923 and his last one in Continue Reading
The Naked Truth by Gavin Whitaker
I recently managed to get hold of a copy of The Naked Truth About Harrison Marks, the 1967 biography of everyone’s favourite alcoholic, cat lover, glamour photographer and reluctant pornographer. Rather like Mary Millington’s late 1970s biography, its a famous mixture of fact and fiction and best approached by having Continue Reading
Arthur Fox – Manchester’s King of Glamour
A little bit off topic but I’m sure regular readers will appreciate this post about Arthur Fox, Manchester’s King of Glamour. He’s been unfairly neglected as his standing has faded with time. As early as 1947 he was touring striptease shows the length and breadth of England and in March Continue Reading
