Auction History Result 7a039 MERLE OBERON 8x10 negative 1940s seated portrait of the beautiful star with bare shoulders! Date Sold 6/10/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. A Photographic Negative (measures 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm]) (Learn More) Merle Oberon was an Indian-born English actress from the 1920s to the 1970s. She was officially born to Welsh and Sri Lankan parents, though her biological father's never been identified, and she was raised thinking her mother was her sister, as she was only 12 years older than Merle! She lived in India until she was 17, when she moved to London. She is probably best remembered for her role as Cathy in Wuthering Heights. Some of her other movies include: The Dark Angel (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), The Divorce of Lady X, These Three, and The Private Life of Henry VIII. Merle passed away in 1979 at the age of 68. Important Added Info: Note that this is a negative that was in the camera when the photographer shot the photo. We have taken a scan of the negative as it appears, and also a special scan of the negative that shows the "positive image". We will provide the winning bidder of this auction with that positive image scan. 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 444 extremely rare negatives and transparencies of various sizes. EVERY single one 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 every one of these 444 auctions have had their transparencies and/or negatives scanned expertly. This auction contains that scan with the "eMoviePoster.com" watermark over it. ONLY the winner of this auction will, on request, be sent UNWATERMARKED scan(s) of the items in this auction, which will both save them the time and expense of scanning them themselves, and also allow them to make high quality positive prints of the items they purchased. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
