General Transparencies, 1983 - 1997
Scope and Contents
Seven boxes with numerous sleeves of 63mm and 35mm photographic transparencies and slides, along with a small amount of photographs, the vast majority of which contain images of Spitting Image puppets. These images have been produced for Spitting Image publications and merchandise, commissioned work from external publications and companies, for general use by the media, and for other purposes. There are also transparencies and related photographic material connected to other Spitting Image Productions Limited activities, such as a televised theatrical performance of Sergei Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, and the animated television series, Crapston Villas. The photographic images found in these transparencies were taken by John Lawrence Jones, Steve Bendelack, Andy de Emmony and other photographers.
The contents of these seven boxes are split into the following alphabetical groupings, mostly based on the subjects of the images present: A to B (box 1); C (box 2); D to G (box 3); H to L (box 4); M to P (box 5); Q to S (box 6); and T to Z (box 7). The sleeves found within these boxes hold multiple transparencies for each photo shoot involving a puppet or other subject, and many are labelled with their original 'SI' reference number, which can be used to search 'The Archive Bible' for further background information [see entry MS Add.10275/7/5/3].
