- Scope and Content:
- Consists of booklet containing a general introduction to the series of four filmstrips compiled, annotated and photographed by Shirley Smith (225 x 135 mm pp. 64) and a box (240 x 160 x 55 mm) holding four filmstrip canisters. The booklet has been quarter bound in black book cloth with marbled paper-cover boards. In 1969 and 1970, while Shirley Smith was Head of the Art Department at Marlborough College, he travelled to the Vento to photograph art and architecture. A third expedition was made in 1971 and this set of four film strips was the result. While the effort was not a financial success, the experience of closely examining the works of Palladio, Veronese, and the sculptor Vittoria at such sites as Maser and the Villa Barbaro influenced his later murals and framed paintings.
