Artcraft, 1917. Approximately 247 silver gelatin photographs comprising 57 8 x 10 in. photos from A Romance of the Redwoods; and 119 8 x 10 in. photos and 71 5 x 7 in. photos from The Little American. Accompanied by the original "Evans Studio" envelope. The 5 x 7 in. stills were taken with a Graflex camera by an on-set photographer who shot photos while filming was in progress. A typical production would have produced over 1000 Graflex images revealing both on-camera and behind-the-scenes activities, providing an extraordinary and detailed glimpse into the world of silent filmmaking. Cecil B. DeMille directed Pickford in both of these dramas and was able to pull from her a depth of performance not seen in her prior films. Though there were power clashes on the set, both DeMille and Pickford's respect for one another transcended these arguments and they remained lifelong friends. Largest: 8 x 10 in.
