(Hammeras, 1924-41) A collection of five scrapbook pages documenting the glass matte technique for motion picture effects photography patented by Ralph Hammeras. Included are 20 photographs with handwritten notes by Hammeras detailing the effects and the process, as well as prints of concept art for 1924’s “Dante’s Inferno,” which included miniature sets designed by Hammeras. Measuring up to the 11” x 15” scrapbook pages, the set is overall in fair to good condition, with handling wear, creases, chipping, tape, and stains throughout.
