Vintage double weight photograph from the set of the 1928 film. Shown are Dreyer and his crew, including cinematographer Rudolph Mate, setting up a ground shot of one of the film's French clergymen. A rare photograph of the director at work on his masterpiece. The film was shot on one huge concrete set modeled on medieval architecture in order to realistically portray the Rouen prison where Joan was held. The film is known for its cinematography and use of close-ups. Dreyer also didn't allow the actors to wear make-up and used lighting designs that made the actors look more grotesque. The latter element is evident in this photograph, as one of the crew is holding up a board to reflect light onto the actor, and a hole has been dug in order to get a ground-up perspective. 9 x 7 inches. In an archival mat. Very Good to Near Fine, with a small stain on the verso.

Vintage double weight photograph from the set of the 1928 film. Shot by Jean Soulat and Mauric Boussus of Studio Soulat-Boussus in Paris, with respective stamps on the verso. An excessively rare photograph from Dreyer's masterpiece, capturing Maria Falconetti in what one could accurately described as "in character." Franconetti became a stage actress in Paris in 1918, and had appeared in only one other film. For this role, today still considered one of the most astonishing performances ever committed to celluloid, director Dreyer reputedly pushed her to the brink of emotional collapse. It was to be her final film role, after which she returned to producing and starring in light stage comedies, including work at the Comedie-Francais in Paris. In 1946, having fled to South America during World War II, and having suffered a lifetime of mental illness, she committed suicide in Brazil. 6.5 x 8.75 inches. In an archival mat. Fine.
