The illustration above is from a story in the June 1961 Adam magazine about being held captive by Algerian rebels:
I had Just started wriggling my way on my backside toward the woman when a sharp stab of light flashed on. For a few seconds I was completely blinded by the brilliance of the incandescent bulb burning in the ceiling. I had another three or four seconds to take in my surroundings before the door immediately to my left opened outwards and two men I recognised at once as Algerians entered.

In this posture and in that relatively demure clothing with those faintly-pissed-off looks on her face, she really reminds me of some of the girl-next-door models from the vintage bondage magazines of the 1970s and 1980s, the sort of girls who would get hired by a photographer with no real idea what they were in for (or at least, that was always the fantasy the magazines would pitch).
Anyway these photos are from right before they drop her down on top of a powerful riding vibrator that she can’t escape from, which causes an immediate shift (if not precisely an improvement) in her mood:
