Exploring ‘View of a picnic scene’

February 2nd, 2009 by imageservices

Exploring ‘View of a picnic scene’, originally uploaded by Powerhouse Museum.

This video exploration has been made using one of the images from the Phillips photographic collection titled ‘View of a picnic scene’ uploaded to the Commons on Flickr. We have been wondering if perhaps the photographer may be present in this group portrait. We believe the photographer to be Arthur Phillips and there are the initials ‘AP’ scratched into the reverse of the glass plate negative located on the billycan at the front of the image. We’d love to know how you feel about seeing the stills in this video format.
