During the 1980’s Janus advertised a large number of videos for sale at the back of the magazine. As work continues on building the Janus Digital Archive these photos, which were used to promote ‘Real Tears’ and ‘Fighting at School’, have recently been discovered. We present both photos in colour for the first time.
If you have ever appeared in Janus, been involved in the production of the magazine or have access to any material that you think might be worthy of inclusion in the archive then we would be pleased to hear from you. You can email us at archive@janusworldwide.com
This excellent photo fantasy from Janus 143 continues our series of articles focussing on lesser-known stories. Working for a large investment bank, Nikki Dowling is on the verge of making a disastrous financial error that would cost her employer millions of pounds. Her manager intervenes and saves the day but Nikki knows there will be a price to pay for her carelessness.
Considering Janus 143 was published over ten years ago it’s amazing how prophetic this story has proved to be. Perhaps if banks had formally introduced these severe disciplinary measures then…well who knows!
We hope you enjoy this small selection of high quality photos. You can download a digital copy of Janus 143 here.
Don’t forget if there are any particular photo stories you’d like us to revisit please email archive@janusworldwide.com – we’d be delighted to hear from you.
I don’t think many people would disagree that Antonia du Bois was one of the most beautiful women to ever appear in the pages of Janus. Her classic good looks and wonderful bottom were an instant hit with readers and she was rarely out of the letters pages for years afterwards. She was perfect as the upper class young lady who needed to be taught a lesson and we were fortunate to witness her comeuppance on three occasions.
Her first appearance was on the cover of Janus 20, with tears running down her face and her hands on her head – she has clearly been well punished. In ‘The Punishment Officer’ set in a residential finishing academy, Antonia receives twelve strokes of the cane for gross insubordination. She is very much the star of Janus 20 because she also appears in a special feature on the new Janus video ‘The Disciplinarian’. The colour plates in the centre of the magazine are fantastic and vividly capture the marks of her punishment with riding crop and cane.
Sadly, Antonia’s only other appearance was in Janus 24, a revealing interview and photo shoot entitled ‘Will the Real Antonia du Bois Please Bend Over’. The colour photos of her well-caned bottom on page 36 are not to be missed.
At the time it seemed this was just the start for Antonia but as quickly as she arrived on the scene, she disappeared. There are rumours she married and retired from modelling but, whatever the truth, we have some wonderful souvenirs to remember her by and we hope you enjoy these photos from the Janus archive.

Janus 19 was a popular issue and the main photo story ‘Polly’s Punishments’ was revisited a couple of times, most notably in Janus 148. However, the equally excellent ‘Schoolgirl Screen Test’ is worthy of mention in our series looking at lesser known photo fantasies. Caroline Darling is an aspiring young actress auditioning for a part in an upcoming movie. Arriving for her audition she is surprised to find a school uniform laid out neatly for her to put on…
