These always amaze me, even the good stills from earlier. It always hits me that none of those people are alive. Maybe a tiny fraction of any of those individuals possessions, writings (if literate) etc… even exist. But that one film reaches across 120 years and there they are, the first humans to achieve a pale manifestation of immortality a century+ later.
Did you see the big English effort that produced a movie of WWI footage and all the talking was dubbed in from lip readers?
