EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the remarkable moment of re-shooting the Nelson film, which tragically fell victim to a devastating fire. The scene unfolds on board HMS Victory at Portsmouth, where many of the original scenes were initially filmed. Dated 14th July 1918, this snapshot from the early 20th century transports us back in time to witness the behind-the-scenes action of silent movie production. A group of men, presumably actors and crew members, can be seen below decks amidst an elaborate film set. Clad in period costumes, they meticulously recreate an intense action scene involving a cannon on a ship's deck. The attention to detail is striking as they strive for authenticity in this grand re-enactment. The image showcases not only the dedication and artistry involved in early filmmaking but also provides a glimpse into life aboard naval vessels during that era. Through one of the portholes, we catch sight of gunners manning their posts with unwavering focus. Alfieri's monochrome photography skillfully captures both the historical significance and entertainment value inherent in this cinematic endeavor. This photograph serves as a testament to human resilience as filmmakers bravely resurrected their lost creation from ashes while paying homage to Admiral Nelson's legacy
