Marr Publishers / Phoebe Publishers / Burmel, 1950s. Very Good. Two vintage adult digest magazines featuring voluptuous women, posing seminude & emphasizing their natural assets, w/ heels, hose, garters, notably Pamela Green as Rita Landre.Hundreds of similar digest magazines were produced by fly-by-night operations, mainly around New York, notably Burmel Publishing (Lenny Burtman's enterprise). Many were published as photography and/or art "studies" booklets, w/ technical camera data, exposure chart, & the standard emphasis on sexual liberation; early issues featured several models per issue & many maintain airbrushing techniques rolled over from nudist magazines, much of the posing naturally obscures otherwise censored areas. Still scarce institutionally.
