Summary
A gelatine silver monochrome portrait of actress Nesta Harris, as Hannah Jones in the film "On the Black Hill" (1987), probably used as a prop in the film. She is dressed in a late Victorian style black blouse and jacket, and black bonnet. The image has some sepia-coloured toning. The print has been roughly torn across the bottom, and folded on the left edge, in order to fit the frame. The photographer was probably Adrian Gillard, the Stills Photographer for the film.
