About this deal

In the mid-seventies George was offered a commission to do some 8mm spanking movies for Janus and got to know the staff of the magazine well. At the time the editor of the magazine was Alan Van Okker who was in his late seventies and suffering from poor health. Following his death in 1980 it seemed that no-one else in the company was capable of putting the magazine together. By coincidence, George happened to visit a pub in Soho called The Swiss and there ran into the Janus team who told him about their problem. After some discussion George was persuaded to become the editor and carried out that role for the next 18 months. The magazine produced a series of popular videos with high production values during the early 1980’s. The St Winifred’s Trilogy (below), The Disciplinarian and the Moral Welfare videos were among the best films available on the market at the time. They sadly disappeared from the shop following the introduction of the Video Recordings Act 1984. 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]

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.Marks was also the photographic consultant for the film Peeping Tom (1960) [ citation needed], which featured Green in a cameo role. In the 1960s Marks moved his studio to Saffron Hill near King's Cross Station and began selling photoshoots to the American magazine Swank. His Kamera and Solo magazines ceased publication in 1968, with occasional single-issue magazines appearing subsequently. [2] This article needs additional citations for verification.

At the end of 1980, Volume 9, Number 12 marked the 108th and last issue of the yearly volumes. 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… The Janus shop may have been firmly established at 40 Old Compton Street by 1981 and was now the mecca for all aficionados of erotic and recreational discipline, but the title of ‘Janus’ was anything but secure. The title rights became the subject of negotiation during this period and while the ownership was being resolved the editorial team launched Volume 1, Number 1 of ‘New Derriere’ (below left). New Derriere ran for just six issues while the rights to the name ‘Janus’ were being resolved and later in 1981 ‘New Janus’ Number 1 (below right) was born.

Despite a successful launch and a growing circulation Kane did not generate a substantial profit during its first year of publication. It did, however, provide an ideal platform from which he could promote and sell home movies again.

He was an excellent photographer of nudes," producer Tony Tenser remarked to John Hamilton in a 1998 interview, "but he also excelled in photographs of cats, that were much more beautiful than some of his nudes". [15] Marks' cats remained a fixture of his studio and can be spotted scurrying about in several of the 8mm glamour films of the period, occasionally even appearing in prominent roles. As male models were very often difficult to find George sometimes took the male lead and soon became a dab hand at administering an over the knee spanking or wielding various instruments of punishment. 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. 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 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 ]

Following the success of the spanking specials the magazine gradually began to shift its focus solely towards spanking. A new editor, AG Van Okker, took the helm in 1973 and the popularity of the magazine began to build. Van was a colourful and well-loved character with an active interest in the subject matter. He also went by the name of Homericus and published an interesting book about his life (below).

At this time the magazine was published from offices at 164 North Gower Street, London and the main Janus bookshop was at 10 Irving Street, London (below). When the lease on Irving Street ran out in 1977 the main Janus shop moved to 4 Greens Court off Brewer Street (below). In the late 70’s the lease on Green’s Court also expired and the main Janus bookshop settled in to it’s final home at 40 Old Compton Street. and that’s what the first half of our may 2000 show is all about, punishment and discipline! 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.

In 1982 Marks left the Janus stable to set up his own fetish magazine Kane which also featured caning and spanking photos. Kane described itself as "The CP Journal of Fantasy, Fact and Fiction for Adults." 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.
