Can You Guess Who? (1958)

5 comments:


Through-out his Kamera publications, as well as publishing full shots of his models Harrison Marks liked to intersperse close up shots of the nude female anatomy. Always tastefully done and posed it makes you wonder who the models actually were for these shots.  Some are obvious and you can have an educated guess at the model, but like the two above from Kamera No.9 (1958) I have no idea! Still a beautiful body and figure to look at whilst your trying to guess :)

Sylvana Manto or Madelaine Bannister?

So I've been seeing more and more shots of Sylvana Manto recently, so I did some digging around to see where else she appeared. In doing so I came across several early publications of Spick and Span featuring Madelaine Bannister, who on looking I am sure is the same person? Going under the name Sylvana she appeared in publications such as Fiesta, Kamera Special No.1 around 1957 and Kamera No.9 (1958)

If I were a betting man I'd say they were the same person and the Sylvana name was an alias made up by the likes of Harrison Marks or Russell Gay, but then most models didn't use their real name at all so maybe both are? Can anyone add further proof Sylvana and Madeliane are one and the same?

Either way I've got some great original shots of her coming up!

Rosa Domaille & The Bed Spread!

Let's start the morning with something a little more risqué than usual!


Rosa Domaille or as she was better known later in her career Eve Eden, giving us a full on view of herself! It was well known that early in her career Rosa posed for more than the odd pornographic/sleazy shot such as this one, but finding good copies of said images is a little harder! (pun intended). As her modelling and TV career took off later in the 1960's I wonder if she regretted doing these type of shots? I have a few more to post, but not many I'm afraid.
