About this work

Description

This film title comprises of a series of still images which have been photographed and digitised from the Kinora in the Wellcome Library (Wellcome Library no. 47278i) for conservation reasons. The images are of Henry S. Wellcome's wife and son boating in a punt on a river or lake, with an unidentified man (Henry S. Wellcome? or Henry Mounteney's tutor, Arthur Mounteney Jephson?). Probably shot by an amateur, they are in extreme long shot and over exposed. The still images were grabbed from a cine-film by a patented process and it is the intention to 're-animate' in order to represent the original film sequence.

Notes

The Kinora is a kind of mutoscope in which a sequence of small photographic prints, rotated by a handle, flicks past a lens in rapid succession, giving the impression of a moving subject. It was invented by the Lumière brothers in Paris ca. 1896, and was popularised in Great Britain by the Kinora company, 1902-1914
