These clips require RealPlayer Basic for viewing. This is a free download - click on logo for link.
The clips are taken from an amateur silent colour film taken by the Exhibition architect, Edmund Anscombe. They have been reproduced at a high enough resolution to be viewed in Real Player's full screen mode. They are large files and will take several minutes to download for those relying on dial-up access - but we feel they are well worth the wait! The pictures on this page are all stills captured from the film - most link to larger versions. We have also provided text dscriptions of each clip. Film is courtesy of Jock Phillips and the Anscombe family. A biography of Edmund Anscombe is available from the online DNZB website .
