How films are made: Back View of Set (colour litho)
8660311 How films are made: Back View of Set (colour litho) by English School, (20th century); Private Collection; (add.info.: Back View of Set. Our illustration is of part of the elaborate set used for the filming of "I was a Spy." This was erected out of doors a few miles from London, and was a faithful reproduction of the market square at Roulers, Belgium. In the foreground will be seen the rough lath and plaster construction, while in the distance is the "illusion" of the far side of the Square. A record was created in the building of this particular set. The whole set was built in sections within three weeks at the Studio in Shepherds Bush, and transported to the site for erection.
