An Original 120mm Transparency of Marian Maylam taken in 1972 by photographer Bob Guccione

Model:
Marian Maylam is a confirmed country girl, with her 38-24-37 figure, and it was her love of wider spaces that took her to the U.S. where among other enthusiams, she developed an undying devotion to the Baltimore Colts. "They're a great team. They're my team. I still look at American newspapers to see how they're going." It was homesickness that took the memorable Miss Maylam back to England."I love America and I love Americans, but I do miss all my friends and relations. If that sounds rather sentimental, I'm a rather sentimental person, that's all." She feels crowded in London, and is something of an anti-pollution enthusiast, though she doesn't take her dislike of over-population and automobile effluents to militant extremes. "I'm basically a passive person and I don't see what I could do to alter things." Marian doesn't expect men friends to agree with her: in fact, she doesn't expect them to be anything but dominating. "A man must be the boss. I enjoy being told what to do." Her ideal companero would be tall, slim-hipped and romantic. "but I'm always more than willing to make an exception to the rule." When in the city, Marian devotes her off-duty energies to intimate dinner parties and cinema-going, but she frequently takes the train home to Tunbridge Wells to relax. "I go for a long walk through the fields, or just sit in the sun under the trees listening to the breeze and the birds. You can learn a lot about yourself doing that-you can learn how to be truly peaceful." Her sense of self-possesion has, she admits, been greatly enhanced by her Pet of the Month pictorial in August 1972, "I was very honored and excited to be asked." she said. "Being a Penthouse Pet is such a rare opportunity for a girl." And, as these pages unequivocally show, the rare-bit is a great British dish.
Photographer:
In 1965, Bob Guccione, a struggling artist with an entrepreneurial imagination, started a magazine called Penthouse. Due to his lack of resources, Guccione personally photographed most of the models for the magazine's early issues. He spent long hours, and sometimes, several days, to complete a photo shoot. Although he had no professional training, Guccione applied his knowledge of painting to his photography, establishing the diffused, soft focus look that would become one of the trademarks of the magazine's pictorials. These images offered more sexually explicit content than other gentleman’s magazines of the era, establishing Penthouse as a well known name amongst its competitors.

Although Bob Guccione's formal training amounts to a one-month stint at the Art Students League, his entire life has revolved around the art world since the age of 5, when his aunt gave him a book of impressionist reproduction. As a young man living in Europe and North Africa, he furthered his artistic pursuits by painting and sketching for over 20 years. His sense of light, form, and movement can be attributed to the past 30 years he has spent behind the camera lens. Finally his lifelong acquisition of old-master, impressionist and post-impressionist works has greatly influenced his use of inert color. Although he is known primarily as a businessman, and owner of GMI and its 17 publications, he states that "my greatest passion has always been art." Featured Video:
