The photos on this page were taken around 1936 by my father, Melvin
Daly, using Dufaycolor Film. The originals are transparencies (photo positive)
which in my youth I had seen projected. However, since they are on 120 film, I
had not seen them for many years but in March 1998 I had enlargements made of them. It was these
enlargements which I scanned and originally posted on this page. In 2012 I
purchaseda new scanner (HP Scanjet 4050) and was now able to scan the original
slides with superior results. Click on the pictures to see a full size high
resolution version. The Dufaycolor
process was introduced as cine film in 1932 and as rollfilm for still
photography in 1935. My father was a keen photographer and was working at the
recently opened London Film Studios (see picture) as a cashier. I imagine
he obtained the film through a contact at the studio as I'm sure he would not
have been able to afford the 4/10d for a 120 film of six
exposures.
