One of these little girls is my great-grandmother, Louise Marie Roninger Bunting, & her older sister, Florence. It was filmed in the Black Maria studio in West Orange, New Jersey.

This is what I love about YouTube, the way it preserves history!

Thank you for replying. I had no idea that his labs were in the middle of a city and that people from the neighborhood worked there.

@TimothyQStanton Haha, I was being sarcastic :)

You should look up Edison's history though and you'll see why I don't like him too well.

@lostismyconstent Why, WHY would you even say that!?! What's wrong with you?  Only a perverted mind would think like that. You need help.

@macroevolve You obviously know nothing about the history of film. Go and watch other films from this time period and even before that. The quality is just right for this era.

Quality is too good for 114 yrs. old....not 1897

That's cool that your relatives are in this. Thank you for sharing.

Jen is a well known scammer....she remakes Edison Films and posts them on youtube. There WAS a four page article on scamwatch until her Mommy's Lawyer had it removed stating that Jen is mentally backward and can't help her attention seeking behavior.
