An early documentary I suppose


A West Indian Woman Bathing a Baby (1895)

Directed by William K. L. Dickson this is a short made for the Edison company. The content is pretty much exactly what the title claims.

There is not much to this film, it is a single shot with no narrative. Presumably this has value as a historical record but there is not much to it in all honesty. Probably not one worth seeking out.

2/5
