Rosen's contribution to The Great Picture Trail series

The Great Picture Trail, a BBC series of short 90 second programmes featuring hidden treasures in various historic buildings and estates in the United Kingdom.

Content: This contains a mixture of programmes recorded from television broadcasts, all of which apart from one are not related to Ismond Rosen (they are run-of-the-mill home recordings). Rosen features near the beginning of the tape, following the first item which is an extract of a programme about writer Tom Clarke and his work 'Past Caring'. In The Great Picture Trail item, broadcast 1993, Rosen comments on 'The Madonna of the yarn-winder' 1500-1510 by Leonardo da Vinci, which then hung at Drumlanrig Castle, Dumfrieshire (part of the Duke of Buccleuch Collection). Rosen psycho-analyses the relationship depicted between mother and child. The running time is about 90 seconds.

Other recordings on the video that follow are not related to Rosen. They include a complete episode of 'Have I Got News For You', a drama series episode, 'Seekers', extracts of a Paul McCartney documentary, the 'Antiques Roadshow', and most of a programme on the 'secret world of sex' about pre-marital sex in England in the 1930s and 1940s. There is also a 'Panorama' programme on South Africa which contains an interview with Nelson Mandela and President F. W. de Klerk.
