A slide is a positive transparency, designed to be viewed when lit from behind. 35 millimeter film, which is the basic gauge commonly used for still photography and measures about 1 3/8 inch wide, is widely referred to as 'slides'.
The 35 mm color slides featured in this auction lot, which for the most part are original Kodachromes, are generally in excellent condition. They have been preserved in a climate controlled environment and were stored in plastic pocket sleeves. Also note that the slides as seen in this lot have, for the purpose of this auction, been photographed from an illuminated light box, which creates a slight blurriness and graining. In actuality, these slides are of significant higher quality and clarity. |
