In case you are interested, here we add the links to related films:

Uit het rijk der kristallen [From the realm of crystals (J.C. Mol; 1927)] : in website, on their youtube channel (the advantage of the youtube version is that it is divided in chapters by chemical product. There are different versions of Uit het rijk der kristallen: the original silent film was given a soundtrack in the 1930s and is longer.

Uit het rijk der kristallen is one of the scientific films made by Mol. Several versions of this film exist. In the film, the crystallization processes of various chemicals are shown and there is a colour version of the film which was made using Dufay colour.

Blossoms by Dassonville

William Edward Dassonville (1879-1957) :: Blossoms, early 20th century | src liveauctioneers — **William Edward Dassonville** (1879-1957) :: Blossoms, early 20th century | src liveauctioneers

Flower blossoms photographed by William Dassonville; very different from his usual landscape repertoire.

William E. Dassonville was a California photographer primarily known for his landscapes. He was an associate of Ansel Adams and worked with William Keith, George Stirling, Maynard Dixon, and John Miur. Born in Sacramento, CA, he acted as secretary of the California Camera Club and contributed to Camera Craft. He also invented a velvety surfaced printing paper that he later manufactured commercially (REF: Getty). His chemistry was heralded by Ansel Adams and Imogen Cunningham, and he exhibited alongside Alfred Stieglitz, Clarence White, and Gertrude Kasebier (REF: icp org) | src liveauctioneers
