'First Overland' Press Page (Pics)

PICS

These are thumbnails of the pics that are available as email attachments on request from firstoverland@teeafit.co.uk. Note that all the pics are screen grabs from the DVD — although they are much better quality than these thumbnails (1216Kb TIFF files), they may not be the high resolution you may normally prefer for publication. I would advise using a phrase such as "actual frame from the DVD" to explain to your readers.

[Any pics ordered will have the black side bands removed, and will be adjusted to the correct aspect ratio.]

All images may be freely used, but a credit to Antony Barrington-Brown would be appreciated for any images from his original 1955 film footage.
