Archival Photographic Heritage Record The Pavilion, Manly Cove November 2004

Photographic Approach

Q12~ . l

MArJL-

This archival p/'loto!Japhic heritage record was undertaken at the request of John Codlington and partner at the Pavilion, Manly Cove in November 2004.

the survey records the state and situation of the Pavilion, the old dressing sheds for the no longer existi~ Manly Baths. The survey concentrates on items of heritage si9nificance as outlined In the Conservation Management Plan prepared by Noel Bell, Ridley Smith in 2002.

On such an extensive building it was difficult keeping to a coherent sequence of photographic takes, but generally we commenced with long shots from Manly Wharf and up behind the Pavilion on Longnose Point. we then circled the Pavilion anti clockwise before going inside. There were no problems of access.

Inside the Pavinon many small room divisions now divide the spaces and contents are duttered. As these are quite recent and not of heritage significance we only photographed samples of typical areas. One or two rooms looked onginal and we took care to record these along with the fine architrave mouldings in the original entrance whidl is now the Dive office.

The Recording has a lot of material relating to the original 'art deco' building furniture, such as the lamps, the drinking fountain blind arches, the flag poles, the dolphin capitals, unique terra cotta shark fin ror:I tiles and the glazed tile friezes alonQ the feature eastem side facing the beach at Manly Cove. There are eighty four B&W "fakes and thirty two Colour Slide Takes in this recording.

A Black and White Take catak>9ue shows the Take Number,then in brackets which roll of the five rolls of B&W negatives it comes from and the actual frame number of that negative. It also records what direction the camera faced and what the image is showing.

Black & white Takes are numbered and are shown with place and direction on scale plans in back of the Recording. The scale plans are printed on Conqueror stock with arcnval pigment inks and are archival.

The Proof Prints are also archival, being printed with the same archival, pigment inks from digital scans on archival matte paper. One advantage of this is the printed size which is large enough to read without enlargement. The Proof Prints are fully archival having a shelf life 01100 years or more without deterioration even on daily display. Please see www.wllheimresearch.C0fT7

All photography was with 35mm cameras. We used two 35mm Contax RX camera bodies with Carl Zeiss lenses 18mm

f4, 25mm f2.8, 28mm f2.8, 50mm f1.7 and 100mm Macro f2.8. We used a Sigma apochromatic 70 - 210 zoom on tripod for the long shots from Manly Wharf.

Interior takes were all from tripod and one or two Metz C61 portable flash units were used as needed.

A two metre scale stick marked in 10 em divisions was also displayed in a number of the takes to give a scale to the spaces.


Archival Photographic Heritage Record The Pavilion, Manly Cove November 2004

With Its fine arch colonnade and columns featuring 'dolphin' capitals, the Pavilion. once the change rooms for bathers at the Manly Baths, has many 'art deco' and quite unique features,. There are bronze lantems and elegant flag poles. The hipped and tiled roof forms with 'shark fin' finials and the glazed tile frieze under the eaves facing the beach are of high Significance as are the drinking fountain panels, with a shallow tiled arch and scroll moulding with glazed um atop ..


Conventional silver halide black & white fine grain film was used for all the monochrome Takes. It was developed rotating drums at 24° and washed normally. It was then re fixed in used fixer for 4 minutes and washed normally again. It was then steeped for 10 minutes in Ilford Wash Aid, which has fixer neutralisers. The film was then washed a further 20 minutes at 24° in fresh water with constant agitation. This fulfils the requirements specified by Ilford for archival processing.

Colour slides are Fuji Provia developed in a standard, monitored E6 process. All film was processed in-house. The clear polypropylene sleeves are archival quality, as it the grey satchel and the labels. Three copies Qf the Archival PhotographiC Heritage Record were produced.

Along with the proofs and documentation which they all have, the first copy contains the original black and white negatives and all four contain original Colour Slides.
