Ned Mann was an all-around FX supervisor but mostly his work was involved with miniatures. I assume some of the above images are hanging miniatures because Ned Mann used to work with expert miniature
maker Ross Jacklin.
When Ned Mann went to England
British Optical effects master Tom Howard talks about Nedd Mann miniature effect at the book "Movie Magic. The story of special effects in the cinema."
By John Brosnan.
“Mann's team of Americans included a famous miniature hanger called Ross Jacklin, whose one skill was to build foreground miniatures which you could pan and tilt a camera over yet still keep them married into a full-size set”
Conrad Tritschler is one of those old-time matte painters from the silent era whose work remains almost unknown. He was a British scenic and backdrop painter for Stage Theatre. He moved to the USA
Sometime during the late twenties and early thirties, he went to work for Howard Anderson Company to execute glass and matte paintings on films like White Zombie (1932) or The Count of Monte Cristo (1934) He died in London
Those two images I think could be hanging miniatures.
