George Harrison Marks certainly made the most of out this image. Three different magazines featuring Pamela Green on the cover in the same pose, dressed as a naked gypsy. On the left is Outdoor Strip published by Gaffinia, followed Water-Babies by Caballus Publications and Salome put out by Ben’s Books of Acton. Continue Reading
Magazines
From Figure Studies for Art Students to the magazine published by Harrison Marks, such as Kamera and Solo, join us we take a trip down mammary lane. Guaranteed no sticky pages.
Meet the Models – Lee Sothern
I’ve always had a soft spot for Lee Sothern (a.k.a. Grace Jackson). This joyful picture of her is by Stephen Glass, the brother of Zoltán Glass and is from an original negative. The poem below is from the magazine Meet the Models – No. 4, published by The Liverpolitan Ltd. Continue Reading
The Roye-Vala 3-D Proces
One of these days I will write a biographical post about the photographer Horace Roye (1906 – 2002). Roye set up the Camera Studies Club during the war. In 1954 he teamed up with a gentleman called Vala and developed The Roye-Vala 3-D Process, with which they had some success. Continue Reading
Betty Page – America’s Queen of Glamour
I’m not sure how many people would have been familiar with America’s Queen of Glamour, Betty Page in the UK in the 1960s. She certainly wasn’t the household name she is today. Her popularity stateside, however, was enough for Harrison Marks to dedicate U.S. Glamour No. 5 and Kamera Cine Continue Reading
Nude Studies for the Student
The magazine on the left was published by R.S. Gary Publications of 42 Grays Inn Road, London. The one on the right by The S. and M. Trading Co., which was next door at 44 Grays Inn Road. Both feature classic images of Pamela Green by Zoltán Glass on the cover. Continue Reading
Fiesta: Summer Special
Fiesta Summer Special featuring Pamela Green as Rita Landre on the cover. The magazine features several models, such as Lyn Shaw, Rochelle Lofting and Norma Stevens, by such photographers as Eva Grant, Russell Gay and Harrison Marks. Only two of the eighty pages are dedicated to Rita Landre. There’s no Continue Reading
Nouvelle Série de Revue
Pamela Green (left) and Marie Deveraux (right) on the cover of the Danish magazine Nouvelle Série de Revue, No. 57, which was published by Nordisk Bladcentral, Copenhagen and distributed by Sangko-Nordern. As the models were shaved for the English market, the pubic hair was “touched in” for the Scandinavian market. SaveSave
Film & Figure magazine, no.12, 1968
Pamela Green as Rita Landre on the front cover of Film & Figure magazine, no.12, 1968. I am not sure why this American magazine merits the subtitle Nude Horizons in Creative Graphics, even after studying all 78 pages, 8 of which were in colour. Unfortunately, Pamela Green only features on the cover. Continue Reading
Nudist Life at Spielplatz
Nudist Life at Spielplatz, the story of a modern experiment in the art of living by Charles Sennet, with an art supplement of photographs taken at the Hertfordshire nudist resort by Stephen Glass, was published by The Naturist Ltd. in 1956. The 56-page booklet is pretty rare so I was Continue Reading
Modelstudier no. 63, vol. 15
A photo of Pamela Green by Zoltán Glass on the cover of Modelstudier no. 63, vol. 15. Modelstudier was a long-standing Danish magazine that was distributed in the States as well as Blighty. Format wise it’s American letter, although I think some issues were smaller and had more pages. From the blurb Continue Reading
