My next set of scans is from Knave Magazine Volume 30 Issue 1, January 1998 (I think).

Knave is one of those annoying magazines that thought it was clever to have small portions of photos overflowing onto the opposite page. I have done my best to merge each of the two pages into a double-page spread prior to cropping the individual photos. I hope the join is not too obvious!

Sadly no new images for the catalogue.

And the full-page layouts:

I've just finished work on my latest scans, from Velvet magazine, Issue 20, May 1999.

There are at least two new photos for the catalogue (007 and 022), and several others are differently cropped versions of the existing photos in the catalogue (e.g. 013, 024). I'll let you experts decide if they merit their own entries in the catalogue.

Again I have included the full page scans plus the double-page spread for pages10-11. This was tricky, as the printing process had resulted in a significant and non-uniform colour imbalance between the pages, so it was very difficult to stitch together without an ugly join line. Hopefully it's not too obvious in the finished product. In fact there was non-uniform colour imbalance on several pages resulting in dark bands and blotches, which I have also attempted to correct. I am not offering prizes for guessing which pages these were.

My next set of scans is for Set725 from Velvet magazine, April 1998:

My analysis suggests there are several new images, and mirrored images of some existing ones in the catalogue. My scans are the correct orientation, as Silvia's lovely birthmark is clearly on her right buttock in these.

This is what I reckon the scans contain:

001 = set725_012 (mirrored, no text)
002 = set725_001 (mirrored)
003 = new
004 = new
005 = new
006 = new
007 = set725_002 (mirrored)
008 = set725_004 (mirrored)
009 = set725_005 (mirrored)
010 = new (similar to, but NOT set725_007)
011 = new
012 = set725_003 (mirrored, cropped)
013 = new
014 = new
015 = new
016 = new
017 = set725_006 (mirrored)
018 = new (similar to, but NOT set725_020)
019 = new
020 = set725_009 (mirrored)
021 = new
022 = new

I have some more scans for Set725 to follow...

Hola Spike.

Creo que deberiamos abrir un post para cada set que vayamos publicando y hacer todos los comentarios en el post correspondiente, de esta manera no mezclariamos todos los sets con distintos comentarios y nos centrariamos exclusivamente en cada uno.

De esta manera cuando efectuemos una busqueda en el foro iriamos directamente al set que buscamos, en caso de añadir actualizaciones o comentarios.

Se que es un comentari sensible, pero esta es la manera que utilizamos en el foro de Veronika y es enormemente eficaz.

Al igual que aqui, hay distintos apartados exclusivos donde se van publicando en cada sección lo que pertenece a dicho asunto.

Este quizas es un tema para tratar en el apartado organización.


Hi Spike.

I think that we should open a post for each set that we publish and make all the comments in the corresponding post, in this way we will not mix all the sets with different comments and focus exclusively on each one.

In this way, when we make a search in the forum we will go directly to the set we are looking for, in case of adding updates or comments.

I know it is a sensible comment, but this is the way we use in the Veronika forum and it is enormously effective.

As here, there are different exclusive sections where what belongs to the subject are published in each section.

This maybe is a topic to deal with in the organization section.

Pensaba que te la habia pasado hace tiempo.

Esta es una diapositiva que salio a la venta en su momento, pero no llegue a pujar por ella.

I thought I passed it to you a long time ago.

This is a slide that was released at the time, but did not make an offer.

Hello Venizelos.

I remember we declined to bid for that slide, but this is actually a magazine scan I made from a cutting I came across in my collection. You could say we saved some money on the slide, but still got the picture! 

In case Adam is wondering, I have no evidence to identify the magazine, let alone the issue number it came from. However, it is probably a 1997 issue of Vevet, as that was the first US magazine to be released in UK.

A new set of scans for Set054 from another unknown issue of Men's World magazine circa 1998 in Silvia's "Sandy" days.

No new images for the catalogue, but I'd like to think they are improvement on the badly joined versions currently on display. Hopefully it's not quite as easy to spot the join on these!

Enjoy.

Spike

P.S. Does anyone think my scans are all a bit too orange? This is how they come out of my scanner with no colour adjustments. I quite like the vivid tone, but it may not be to everyone's taste.

P.P.S. Don't blame me for airbrushing out Silvia's cute birthmark. That was done by the publisher, sadly.

001	002	003	004	005
006	007

As usual here are the full-page images to show the whole spread.

Page 001	Page 002	Page 003	Page 004

Thanks Adam. As ever, you come up with the goods on the provenance.

It is unlikely that I didn't keep a cover with Silvia on it, so I may have lost it.

 

Of course Bernd I was surprised myself, but the cover of vol10 iss9 on Wonderclub is this one. I didn't see it was December issue. And I forgot there is a difference of some months between UK and US edition. As you noticed, the British magazine is vol10 iss6 (June 1998), and the US is vol10 iss9 (September 1998). Sorry if I mixed it up a little bit.

But we have to keep in mind this difference if we refer Silvia's magazines one day

It's the same as in https://saint-archives.activeboard.com/t28677653/the-catalogs-fanatics/?ts=1588437760&direction=prev&page=76&sort=oldestFirst#comment-66569948 where the UK version was from January 1998 and the US version from April 1998. There wonderclub.com had also the wrong cover.

What has the issue from December 1998 to do with it?

Thanks to you all three for your great efforts!

Greetings
Bernd
