Context

Country: Canada
State/Province: Ontario
Period: THIS FILM HOLDER MAY HAVE BEEN USED UNTIL 1992.
Canada: PARTOF A LARGE COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHIC EQUIPMENT USED BY YOUSUF KARSH, CANADA'S INTERNATIONALLY HONOURED PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER. FROM 1932 TO 1992, MR. KARSH OPERATED FROM HIS PRINCIPLE STUDIO IN OTTAWA, PHOTOGRAPHING HEADS OF STATE, RELIGIOUS LEADERS, AND THOSE PROMINANT IN BUSINESS, THE ARTS AND ENTERTAINMENT. HIS PHOTOGRAPHIC PRINTS & NEGATIVES, AND PERSONAL PAPERS ARE IN THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF CANADA.
Function: USED TO SUPPORT INDIVIDUAL SHEET OF FILM DURING DEVELOPMENT. FILM HANGARS LIKE THIS ONE USED FOR WASHING KARSH PRINTS ONLY.
Technical: KARSH'S FILM WAS ALWAYS PROCESSED BY HAND/INSPECTION, IN SMALL BATCHES OF 10 OR SO NEGATIVES. KODAK DESENSITIZER WAS USED TO DESENSITIZE THE FILM TO VERY LOW LEVELS OF GREEN LIGHT. A HOMEMADE LIGHT BOX WITH A SMALL GREEN LIGHT WAS HOUSED IN THE DEVELOPMENT ROOM. AS THE FILM WAS IN THE DEVELOPER, THE LIGHT WOULD BE SWITCHED ON FOR SHORT PERIODS SO THE NEGATIVES COULD BE INSPECTED ONE AT A TIME, AND REMOVED WHEN EACH REACHED THE DESIRED LEVEL OF DENSITY. THE FILM WAS LATER PLACED IN THE HANGARS FOR WASHING, AND THEN REMOVED TO BE HUNG ON A LINE, EACH SUSPENDED ON A CORNER OF THE REBATE EDGE BY A CLOTHESPIN (THE MARKS OF WHICH CAN BE SEEN ON THE NEGS IN THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF CANADA) (REF.2).
Area Notes: Unknown
