Small portion of positive film, being the first film ever taken by Mr R. W. Paul in 1895, and showing a cricketer jumping over the garden gate of Mr Paul's own residence. The perforations are interesting in this film as they were carried out by the use of a 32-toothed hand punch, the film being placed upon a block of lead and the punch being driven through the film with a hammer. Hence the irregularities of the perforations.
