Contact Print Notebook
Description
The A5 contact print notebook contains 68 pasted-in black and white contact prints. The prints are accompanied by Kissling's ms. notes, including locations, dates, OS grid references, informant details and notes on the subject of the print. There are further ms. notes [?in the hand of Stewart Sanderson] addressing additional questions on the photographs and their subjects to Kissling, followed by Kissling's ms. responses. The photographs were all taken in North Yorkshire, namely in Wensleydale, Swaledale and Arkengarthdale. The subject matter includes hedge-laying, a cast-iron trough, an old smelt mill, a pig mallet, a salving bowl, a wooden skillet and butter hands, a lemon squeezer, tallow candle-making, lime kilns, a fossil, a slipper for stopping cart wheels, putty lime shovels, a gripper spade, scraping a pig after slaughter, a sheep stool, a pig stool, a saddler's clam and a timber-buyer's scribble. A number of these contact prints were acquired as black and white photographic prints for the Photo File. See the list below for references to individual photographic prints. Also contained in this file are four photocopied A4 sheets of information on apparatus provided by, and 16mm educational films produced by Brun Educational Films Ltd. These include details of Sam Hanna's 'Old English Crafts' series of films, and the series 'Wonderful Britain' and 'Nature Study'.
