Lot Details
Robert Percy Moore - The New Zealand and South Seas International Exhibition - panoramic silver gelatin contact print from Cirkut camera negative, c.1925-1926. detailed ' R. P. Moore, 80 Manners St Wellington, All Rights Reserved' lower right, 210 x 880mm "The New Zealand and South Seas International Exhibition was a world's fair held in Dunedin, New Zealand, from 17 November 1925 until 1 May 1926, celebrating New Zealand and the South Seas. The exhibition had over 3 million visitors. [The 1925/1926 iteration] added a new 'Special Exhibits' section focusing on art and craftwork made by women, a breakthrough that lifted the profile of women's art and craftwork" "Moore used a Cirkut camera to take his panoramic photographs... mechanically rotating from left to right during the exposure... The film used in a Cirkut camera was the largest professional format ever made; Moore’s negatives were often a meter in length! His final prints... were the result of a contact print. These are created by placing a film negative over light sensitive paper in a darkroom, exposing it to light, and then processing it with photographic chemicals — a positive image the same size as the film is produced"
