Harvesting on Earl Bathurst’s Estate using traditional oxen.

This extract comes from Claude Friese-Greene’s ‘The Open Road’ – originally filmed in 1925/6 and now re-edited and digitally restored by the BFI National Archive. Britain seen in colour for the first time was heralded as a great technical advance for the cinema audience – now we can view a much improved image, but one which still stays true to the principles of the colour process.
