Did You Know?

The contact sheet—a piece of photographic paper which contains positive prints of some or all of the negatives on a roll of film—is a twentieth-century phenomenon.

Description

The contact sheet was necessitated by the advent of roll film, which produced small negatives, and rendered obsolete with the advent of digital photography. Contact sheets are akin to a painter’s preparatory studies: both reveal the artists’ thoughts and working processes and illustrate integral steps in the creation of their finished art works. Groucho Marx (1890–1977) was one of America’s greatest comedians.
