Dickson Greeting (1894) | Early Picture Motion Colorized

This experimental film, created in 1891, is one of the earliest examples of motion picture technology. It was produced using the Edison-Dickson-Heise experimental horizontal-feed kinetograph camera, a groundbreaking invention in the development of cinema. The film utilized 3/4-inch wide film and was designed for viewing on Edison's kinetoscope. Directed by pioneers W.K.L. Dickson and William Heise under the auspices of Thomas A. Edison, Inc., the project represents a critical moment in the history of film innovation. As part of the Edison Collection at the Library of Congress, this film serves as a testament to the ingenuity and experimentation that defined the dawn of motion picture history.
