Did You Know?

The contact sheet is a twentieth-century phenomenon.

Description

The contact sheet—a piece of photographic paper which contains positive prints of some or all of the negatives on a roll of film—was necessitated by the advent of roll film, which produced small negatives, and rendered obsolete with the advent of digital photography. Having access to a photographer’s contact reveals the artist's thoughts and working processes.
Three rows of eleven black-and-white photographs depict a man with light skin, a small top hat, and round spectacles. Wearing a dark suit and bow tie, he poses behind a table, resting his chin on his hands or leaning on his elbows. Red ink markings and handwritten notes like "ED WYNN" and "3/13/51" border the individual frames on the cream-colored card.
