Happy Easter! Here is another amazing Segundo de Chomon. I love these fairy tale type fantasy films. The Easter Eggs (1907)

That's a really charming one, isn't it? I can imagine how fascinated the original audiences must have been at that.

Thanks for posting—very nice for Easter.

I'm shocked that I hadn't seen it before!

I think I've seen it, but it's been a long time. I also don't remember seeing it in color, though I may have. I believe there a lot of his I've never seen.

Something Good (1898)
Such a nice one!

That one's great. I can't believe I never ran across that before.

Same. It's supposedly the first recorded kiss of an African American couple.

Another Segundo de Chomon, this one with the subject of Japanese Butterflies (1908)

This one is really cool, and actually sort of scary at one point, though I don't think that was the intention.

Throw on some pretty Japanese music, as it seems this one has no score.

A good one. I didn't know where to find any pretty Japanese music, so I listened to score of a post of The Electric Hotel, which turned out to be the Blue Danube waltz.

The woman's disappearance at 2:12 is an amazing illusion.

Isn't it awesome how good some of the illusions are?
