   This is a Quicktime movie that uses the photo-JPEG CODEC to produce high quality images for web delivery. The video compressors do not work well on this type of image since they insert key frames at the wrong places.
    The CDROM version is a Director movie which is 640x480 pixels in dimension. The graphics are 256 colour, optimised palette images, so the Director movie occupies 24MBytes.
    The concept came from Josie Arnold, Kitty Vigo and Dan Greene, the historical photographs from Josie Arnold and the artwork (3D rendered) by Dan Greene. The processing of the graphics to produce an animation small enough for CDROM delivery and the assembling of the animation in Macromedia Director were performed by Richard Rothwell.
