About this work

Description

This intriguing and rather beautiful short film consists of two young children, first a boy then a girl, standing naked in front of a black curtain showing their front, back and sides, then attempting to improve their standing posture before being shown clothed and smiling. There are no titles or other credits, but the film once belonged to Dr. Richard Clarke of Clifton.

Notes

This film comes from the Monica Britton Medical History Collection, which was based at Frenchay Hospital, Bristol, now closed. The museum was founded in 1985 by a generous donation from the late Mr. J. Britton in memory of his wife who came from a medical family and was extremely interested in education. The collection included a wide spectrum of surgical, medical, anaesthetic, radiological and pharmaceutical artefacts, together with books, catalogues and photographs.
