Filming "For the Term of His Natural Life"- Port Arthur 1926

#1 Post by Ross Ewington » Mon Feb 15, 2010 11:57 am

The following cards are by W. Fellowes (D.I.C.) comprising real photos taken during the filming
of "For the Term of His Natural Life" (dir. Norman Dawn) at Port Arthur during August/September 1926.

I always thought that the still photos for this film were taken by Beattie (officially) so it was a surprise to find the name
of Fellowes on the back of each card. Can anyone suggest why? It is interesting to note that the usual title attribution (i.e. D.I.C. Photo or similar)
is absent from the fronts of these cards.

The State Library of Tasmania has an extensive collection of "snapshots" taken during the filming that may be viewed
at their website: http://catalogue.statelibrary.tas.gov.a ... 992+(PH30)

Both cards will be offered for sale by auction by TSA in June 2010.
