765. King Kong, Son of Kong and Bird of Paradise massive archive of (50) original 8 x 10 camera negatives by Ernest A. Bachrach with modern contact prints of each. (RKO, 1933 and 1932) Collection of 33 original negatives from 8 x 10 in. camera of Kong and Dinosaur models in action, scenery, sets, some with characters present, plus special effects shots, by Ernest Bachrach. Bachrach was the official still photographer for this film, and the range and quality of his work leaves us with an impressive record of this legendary film’s intricate production. Of special interest in this group are shots of multiple-Kong figures posed together for continuity. In addition, there are 16 original 8 x 10 in. camera negatives from Son of Kong and 1 original 8 x 10 in. camera negative from Bird of Paradise. Included are contemporary high-quality double-weight 8 x 10 in. digital contact prints of each. Very Fine.
