The quality is pretty bad, but remember it's from 1902.

On a film history note, it shows close-ups were already in common use long before various directors were credited with inventing them.
Re: Silent Shorts
That's right! I hadn't thought of that. The extreme closeups are actually what makes this one unique, come to think of it.
Re: Silent Shorts
Love these early curiosities, everything in film was experimental and playful! Thanks for sharing.
Re: Silent Shorts
I'm glad you're enjoying them! I love to see the camera tricks. It really was movie magic.
