What to say about this wonderful shot of Virginia Green sent over by Girlymag and restored from an original silver gelatin photo! Simply stunning hips and those curves of her body as she kneels there look fabulous. I’m not sure about having a lit cigarette so close to that plastic as she kneels there, but I’ll forgive her on the health and safety issue at work on this occasion and who wouldn’t with her looking like that!
A smoking hot shot of a very sophisticated, but nude Sylvana Manto (Madelaine Bannister) posing in long black gloves from the late 1950’s.
This comes from a collection of scanned original photo’s sent over by Ian one of my members. They were found by a friend of Ian’s in the eaves of his garage, in a yellow Kodak 6 by 4 box when he was having a clear out from previous owner. Some were damaged in places by damp but are still a valuable archive and as you can see from above still good enough to be restored. There were about 75 prints in total, including some familiar models such as Sylvana, Lorraine Burnett and several shots of a young June Wilkinson from the 1950’s and 60’s. Thanks must go to Ian for sending them over and allowing me to restore and share them here 🙂

June palmer posing in short silver wig as ‘Candy’ on holiday and probably taken by Arthur Howell. This comes from John W, and as he comments it shows June posing with a cigarette beside some mono water skis, maybe to clam the nerves before she takes to the water, but more likely just a good spot to pose. A great holiday shot and the white bikini once again shows off June’s figure to perfection.

A brand new shot of June from John W’s collection, showing her enjoying a cigarette in front of the camera. I just love the use of the black background to help capture the smoke in the shot. John also included some quotes from cigarette adverts back in the 1960’s/70’s, such as ‘You’re never alone with a Strand’, ‘Cool as a mountain stream’ and ‘The international passport to smoking pleasure’. I can’t say I remember any of those, as I was far too young, but still funny seeing cigarette’s advertised in such a way, when now you can’t even show the packets in the shop, let alone see an advert on TV!
I love this set of Rita Landre (Pam Green) on the Alley Set, which appear in Kamera No.23 (1960) and I particularly like the top shot! Wearing just her fur shawl and stockings stood against the Parisian posters, she looks like a very high class lady of the night, waiting for her next gentleman visitor. You can see all of the shots from this set I have so far, including a stunning colour shot here.
