The cover and centrefold of Model No.23 by Russell Gay. This features a nude June Palmer with long dark hair and wearing fetching dangly earrings and pearl necklace and bracelet. I already had a copy of this magazine cover, but now thanks to John I have a much better higher resolution copy, plus a wonderful copy of the centrefold. Both the cover and he centrefold have been cleaned up and restored, with the two page folds from the centrefold removed.
that's an interesting cover – the background looks very much like a Francis Bacon painting – and it's not within reason to think he had seen this or russell gay had taken inspiration from Francis bacon – what's the date of this?<br /><br /> roop
I don't have an actual date, but I would put it at the early 60's if I were to have an educated guess based on the edition number.
Also Russell Gay had a thing for this type of background as well as the chequered background you see on many of his QT covers.
