A fake!

 

Mr. Edison at Work in His Chemical Laboratory (1897)


Directed by James H. White this is an early short film. We see Thomas Edison at work in a laboratory.


While this may pretend to be documentary it is entirely staged. The set is not a real laboratory and I very much doubt Edison is even doing any work. Just goes to show even in 1897 you could not trust Hollywood.


2/5
