I discovered this amazing film series via Marmeecraft, who in addition to being an incredibly talented artist with the most whimsical, imaginative paintings, also has excellent taste when it comes to books, movies, etc. Electric Edwardians is a collection of extremely rare documentary footage of everyday people going about their lives in the pre-World War I era between 1900 and 1913. Apparently, the negatives were discovered in the basement of a house about to be abolished in Blackburn, England. Can you just imagine finding such a treasure! So far, I’ve only watched the ones available on You Tube, but I added the film itself to my Netflix queue. Fascinating stuff.
