Four books showing seven experimental film sequences shot by the Edison Laboratories in the earliest days of motion pictures. Each book is printed with a sequence on both sides of each page, so that flipping the book from front to back will show you one movie, and from back to front will show you another one. The books are a large 3 x 5 inches. Except where we felt there is historical value, all the images of the sequences have been painstakingly edited to present as clear an image as possible. Each book comes with historical insights by Charles Musser of Yale University, who has written extensively about Edison’s work and is the world’s most widely respected contemporary Edison scholar.

Please see below for information on each of the books in this series, each with a button for purchasing them individually. You can purchase all four titles from this card at a special discount with a button at the very bottom of this page.

audience. This book is a glimpse at the seminal period of motion picture history. 64 frames, 3×5 inches, shrinkwrapped
