Auction History Result 9h047 DAVID NIVEN camera original 8x10 negative 1940s c/u of the English leading man by Holloway! Date Sold 9/29/2019 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Photographic Negative (measures 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) David Niven was an English actor from the 1930s to the 1980s. Some of his movies include: Separate Tables (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Sir Charles Lytton in The Pink Panther, Wuthering Heights, A Matter of Life and Death, Casino Royale (as Sir James Bond), and The Guns of Navarone. He passed away in 1983 at the age of 73 from Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS). Important Added Info: Note that our consignor tells us this is a Holloway portrait, but it is not credited on the negative (which is not surprising). Note that this is a negative that was in the camera when the photographer shot the photo. We have put a scan of the negative that shows the "positive image" (in addition to a scan of the negative image). REMEMBER THAT WHAT YOU RECEIVE WILL BE A PHOTOGRAPHIC NEGATIVE, NOT A POSITIVE IMAGE LIKE YOU ARE SEEING. However, we will provide the winning bidder of this auction that positive image scan that is both high quality and not watermarked (on request to the winning bidder, and only the winning bidder). We scanned it, so that bidders could see just how high quality it is. It came in a glassine bag envelope and will be sent to the winner of the auction in that. These often (but not always) have retouching on the emulsion side, and negative numbers written in India ink on the front. Depending on the studio some 8x10 negatives may be trimmed or have numbers or information embedded into the sides of the negative. Many smaller format camera original negatives do not have retouching on them or numbers due to their smaller size. 8x10, 5x7 and 4x5 negatives were primarily the sizes used in the 1920s through the 1940s. 2 1/4" Rollei negatives and 35mm negatives became an industry standard in the 1950s and beyond until the digital revolution in the late 1990s and early 2000s. This is a very special auction of 366 extremely rare negatives and transparencies of various sizes, and also lots of sets of 35mm slides. EVERY single item in this auction is either "studio issued" (meaning it was created by the studio and sent to theaters and movie outlets), OR it is a "camera original" (meaning it was the actual negative that was in the camera when the photographer took the picture). Every auction clearly identifies which they are, and there are no items being auctioned that are not either "studio issue" or "camera originals". We have divided them by type and size. Also note that this auction is for one or more negatives, and every one of the auctions of negatives we are currently running have been scanned expertly. This auction contains the scan(s) of the negatives in this auction, and they have been scanned so that you see a "positive" image (and we have added an "eMoviePoster.com" watermark over it), but the auction is for the actual negative. The winner of this auction and ONLY the winner of this auction will also, upon request, be sent the UNWATERMARKED positive scan(s) of the negative(s) in this auction, which will both save them the time and expense of creating a positive scan themselves, and also allow them to make positive prints of the items they purchased from that scan, if they desire. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
