Thomas Edison film of a bath house in San Francisco in 1897
In the late 1800s, Thomas Edison knew what an awesome invention film was and he took a film camera with him pretty much everywhere, making him the world’s first annoying guy with a camera attached to one hand. But his films, like this one of a San Francisco bath house (not the gay kind) gives a unique perspective on life in the 1890s.
It looked like a lot of fun, though I’m sure the water was full of polio and smallpox or whatever.
