There are ten sets of 4 each. Each set of 4 is for a single 8x10 black & white still image, but each has a different layer of the black & white image. We have not encountered this before, but we imagine that this is like color separations, where a color image is broken into four different color layers, and then a poster is printed with each of the four colors, and when they are all printed together, it makes the poster full-color. We didn't know that this process was used with black & white printing, but obviously it is, and we imagine it gives the resulting prints a very distinctive look. The ten sets of 4 transparencies each come together with an 11 3/4" x 13 1/2" single transparency with a poster artwork image. We have taken photographs of the items, and we have scanned one set of 4 of the transparencies, to better illustrate what we are describing above (but realize that the transparencies look odd when they are seen separately, because they are designed to be overlapped on each other!). Note that this (or these, in the case of multiple transparencies) was created by and sent by the studio that produced this (in the year noted on this auction) to newspapers, magazines, TV stations, or reviewers, so that they could use them to create the highest quality ads. They can be used to make very high quality reproductions, but bear in mind that we are solely auctioning the physical transparencies and NOT the right to reproduce them, so unless they are public domain, the new owner must acquire the rights elsewhere before reproducing them. There are some transparencies in this set of auctions that were NOT created by studios, but those are very clearly marked. Also, note that we not only took a photograph (or photographs) of how these items appear, but we also scanned them as well, so that you can see the actual images (and how high quality they are). Condition: very good to fine. Learn More about condition grades
