| dc.description.abstract | Among the photograph collections at Mayibuye, especially
from IDAF, are numerous contact sheets. The contact sheet
was part of the toolkit of the photographer in the time of
analogue photography. The contact sheet is an assembly, the
vertical layering of horizontal lines of film so that one synoptic
glance can show what is represented in a roll of processed
negative film that holds 36 frames. If the strips are placed in
the correct order, you can see the number of each frame in the
right order from one to 36, which represents the sequence in
which the photos were taken. | en_US |
