Perhaps none of the component parts were strictly new, but the ability of Edison and his staff to reorganize them for a specific purpose was an extraordinary cultural achievement. In 1894, Edison was the sole producer of motion pictures in the world. This first disc of a four disc set contains films produced between 1889-1903. 538 DVD. 590 PFA 0230-01-12897. |aCOPY-SPECIFC DESCRIPTION: 4 videodiscs of 4 (ca. 910 min.)
