Collection of 16 vernacular photographs taken on the Marblehead, Massachusetts set of the 1917 film. Photographs are archivally mounted on the rectos and versos of eight black photograph album leaves with photo-corners, and nearly all bear contemporary annotations on the leaves in white ink, identifying people, locations, and ph…otographers. Collection includes four photographs of star Mary Pickford in costume, and four show actress Mary Moore, sister-in-law of Pickford, and sister of co-star Matt Moore (Pickford was married to Mary and Matt's brother Owen Moore at the time). One of the photographs of Mary Moore includes her four children. Mary was not credited in the film, but may have served as an extra. Seven of the photographs capture the film's sets and/or the Marblehead coastline, including one photograph with the annotation "a Burgess-Dunne in Flight," which shows a Dunne D.8, a tailless swept wing biplane, flying above the set, with several cast and crew members seen below in silhouette. Seven of the photographs are credited to a Mr. Fearing, a photographer we have been unable to identify. One photograph is credited to a Mr. Litchman, with an additional copyright statement printed in the bottom margin. Fred Litchman was a prolific turn-of-the-century photographer who worked frequently in the Marblehead area. According to contemporary news reports, on November 12, 1916, during filming off the coast of Marblehead, the schooner containing Pickford, director Maurice Tourneur, the cameraman, and several cast members, took on water and sunk, requiring Tourneur to rescue Pickford. Set in Scotland, and shot on location at Marblehead, Massachusetts and Fort Lee, New Jersey. Photographs: 14) 5.5 x 3 inches and 2) 2.5 x 3.75 inches, mounted on 8.25 x 5.5 inch photograph leaves. Near Fine overall.
