The Pickwick Papers ("The Honourable Event") - 1913 silent film

The Pickwick Papers, directed by Laurence Trimble, appeared in 1913. This silent three-reel adaptation of Charles Dickens's first novel starred the American comedian John Bunny, who was very popular in his day but is now almost completely forgotten, and was filmed mainly on location in England. This is the first reel from the 1913 Vitagraph version, "The Honourable Event,"which is apparently the only surviving episode from the film, which is in the public domain.

Many of the locations have hardly changed in a hundred years. I recognized many ofthe locations around Rochester instantly.
