Period: This box of film was manufactured for optimal use before Jan. 1991.
Canada: Part of a large collection of photographic equipment used by Yousuf Karsh, Canada's internationally honoured portrait photographer. From 1932 to 1992 Mr. Karsh operated from his principle studio in Ottawa, photographing heads of state, religious leaders, and those prominent in business, the arts and entertainment. His photographic prints and negatives, and personal papers are in the National Archives of Canada.
Function: General: To contain, store, and protect contents when not in use. Specific: To contain, store, and protect instant sheet film after film box has been opened.
Technical: According to Jerry Fielder, Karsh would always make a number of tests following the initial set-up of his equipment. Jerry served as the subject, and Karsh would arrange the lighting, etc. Based on these preliminary shots. When necessary, 4x5 polaroids were taken as part of these tests. (ref. 2) This moisture-proof polyethylene bag was designed to be used for storage of [unused] film sheets, after foil wrap seal of box had been breached.
