Black Maria
​
2005
Duration: 7:09 looped video

Thomas A. Edison’s Black Maria Studio produced this moving image of Annie Oakley in 1894. At the time of the production, Oakley was performing for Buffalo Bill’s Wild-West Show and was considered the best-known entertainer in the world, while Edison was the proud new inventor of the movie camera and kinescope. In some ways this short clip could be regarded as the moment when film began to eclipse live acts as the main source of entertainment for the masses. The footage of Oakley has been slowed down in order to reveal each image that was shot by Edison’s Black Maria Studio.
