Summary
A gelatine silver monochrome vignetted half-length portrait of actress Gemma Jones as Mary Jones in the film "On the Black Hill" (1987), directed by Andrew Grieve. She is seated and wears a jacket, high collared blouse with brooch, and a hat. The photograph was probably taken by Adrian Gillard, Stills Photographer for the film. The framed image is likely to have been a prop in the film. It has been roughly cut down to fit the frame, and has old yellowed sellotape along two edges.
