35mm Slide 1973 Viva Launch Party Janice Martin #1

This original 35mm slide, in plastic casing, captures a unique and candid moment featuring Janice Martin during a travel or editorial shoot, dated September 1974, as marked on the mount. Seated at a weathered café table in what appears to be a Moroccan or North African setting, Janice smiles warmly while two local men engage in a friendly arm-wrestling match. A man stands behind her observing the playful scene, while intricately patterned rugs hang in the background, evoking the rich textures of the region.

Unlike the glitz of the Viva party nightlife scenes, this image offers a glimpse into the exploratory, cultural storytelling that occasionally accompanied Penthouse and Viva features. It’s a rare and humanizing behind-the-scenes moment—full of personality, context, and 1970s editorial charm. A perfect piece for collectors interested in travel photojournalism, candid celebrity moments, and analog slide ephemera from the Guccione era.
