One of the most popular fantasies amongst many CP enthusiasts is the spanking of teenage schoolgirls, which was still common practice in British, Commonwealth and American schools of the period. Naturally, when George began publishing Kane he also focused on this theme as can be seen from a number of the magazine's covers.

It was the end of an era in more ways than one because Van, who had been very ill for some time, sadly passed away. As photo editor and producer of Janus films the legendary George Harrison-Marks (below) had been supporting Van to edit the magazine during his illness and was the natural choice to take over after his death. The editorial for Volume 9, Number 12 tells readers to look out for Volume 10 Number 1 but it wasn’t to be… Born in Tottenham, Middlesex in 1926 to a Jewish family, Marks was 17 when he married his first wife, Diana Bugsgang. [2] [3] He worked as a stand-up comedian in variety halls towards the end of the music hall era, in the late 1940s and early 1950s, in a duo called Harrison and Stuart. [1] Marks left the act in 1951 to develop his photographic career, taking pictures of music-hall performers and showgirls. The model and actress Pamela Green was performing as a dancer in a 1952 revue called Paris to Piccadilly, a version of the Folies Bergère in London. She became Marks' lover and began working with him as a model. Their relationship ended in 1961. [1] During the 1960s Marks had a relationship with another of his models, June Palmer, [4] and he married his second wife Vivienne Warren in 1964.

In the late 1970s Marks was hired as a photographer for Janus, a fetish magazine specialising in spanking and caning imagery. He also produced and directed short erotic corporal punishment films for Janus for the then-emerging home video market. One of these, Warden's End (1981), starring glamour model and pornographic actress Linzi Drew, shows the exterior and interior of Janus's London storefront office at 40 Old Compton Street. George died on 27th June, 1997 and I am told that at the very moment of death the front bedroom of 19 Wellington Avenue, the room where he had been born some seventy years earlier, burst into flames.Although this happened some twenty-five years hence, that memory still remains with me. I don’t think it is any form of “revenge”, but as I previously said, the thought of a female having to bend over for her punishment still gets me excited.

George went on to make hundreds of glamour films and also later directed a number of feature films including Come Play With Me in 1977, which was produced by David Sullivan and starred Mary Millington. It is regarded by many as the most successful British sexploitation film of all time. a b c d e f g h Tony Sloman (10 July 1997). "Obituary: Harrison Marks". The Independent.

Playing the part of Mandy our new girl KaraJayne is spanked and thrashed with the cane by her headmaster Mr Barton, for playing truant – and boy does our new girl get her bottom caned hard, leaving her striped and swollen from the cane’s unforgiving bite. David McGillivray Doing Rude Things: The History of the British Sex Film 1957–1981, Sun Tavern Fields Books, 1992 As the school year progressed, we realised that it was only the boys who were spanked, never the girls! As a result, the boys began to discuss this at break-time, and we wondered if we would ever be treated to the sight of one of the girls touching her toes. One particular girl, Susan Griffiths (who could be described as the “Belle of the class”) was the collective favourite. She was a stunner! I can still vividly remember her long red hair and lovely cute face.While he was filming The Naked World of Harrison Marks he began a relationship with Toni Burnett, an actress and model who made a brief appearance in the film. In 1967, the year the film came out, Marks and Burnett had a daughter, Josie Harrison Marks. Marks' and Green's business partnership was dissolved in the same year, and in 1970 Marks was bankrupt. [2] After he left Janus it didn't take long for George to realise that the market that Janus served had a lot of potential and he soon decided to publish his own CP magazine. He formed a new company for the purpose entitled Derriere Limited and financed his new publication by raising a mortgage on the house he was living in. In 1971 he was tried at the Old Bailey for dealing in pornography by post. [1] Marks and Burnett married in September 1973, but they split up around 1978. In 1979 Marks began a relationship with Louise Sinclair, a teenage glamour model. [2] Glamour photography [ edit ]

After his death in 1997, his daughter Josie Harrison Marks took over the editing of Kane. [2] Biography [ edit ]

The magazine was published in yearly volumes of twelve monthly issues but in 1973 Janus published three specials. The first focussed on bondage, rubber and leather fetishism, the second on spanking (below) and the third on fetishism beneath the skirt. The editorial team were overwhelmed with the response to the spanking special and published a further three spanking specials that same year. Around late 1951 he found and rented a first floor flat in the heart of Soho which he was able to use as a photographic studio and it was here that he first met Pamela Green, a showgirl and professional photographic model, who suggested that George try his hand at nude photography, offering to be his first model. In the 1950s Marks and Pamela Green opened a photographic studio at 4 Gerrard Street, Soho. Marks provided nude photographs for photographic magazines on a freelance basis as well as selling his own stills directly. With the profits from this work, they launched Kamera magazine in 1957. [2] Kamera featured Marks' glamour photography of nude women taken in the small studios or Marks' kitchen. [1] June Palmer began modelling professionally for Marks in the late 1950s and became one of his most famous models. [4] Marks' 1958 publicity materials contained one of the first uses of the word "glamour" as a euphemism for nude modelling/photography. The magazine was an immediate success and the business expanded to employ around seventeen staff by the early 1960s, selling a number of other magazine titles such as Solo, [5] postcards and calendars, and distributing imported French books and glamour magazines. Photographic exhibitions were held at the Gerrard Street studio. [2]
