A new feature: Sensual Cinema.

Thomas Edison’s The Kiss, featuring May Irwin and John Rice, caused uproar when it was released in 1896. Denounced as shocking and obscene, The Kiss (18 seconds long) moved sections of the church and media to call for censorship and moral reform. The general public, however, looked forward to the sequel.

"Although this is not an animated , the origins of animated film can be glimpsed here... Copyrighted in 1900, it was probably filmed three or four years earlier.”

@histodons My colleague Chantel Rodriguez does a stellar job of bridging public history, academic history, pop culture, and entertainment in this video about a Sherlockian 1890s murder case. Not an easy task. I show up at 1:34.

A moment in time. 1891 - a couple of adventurous runaway boys. In the present day this has a darker angle - how racism is instilled.

A moment in time - 1892. A truly delightful little advertising poem from an earlier incarnation of Pond's face cream.

I saw this on display at the V&A last week, it is really tiny! ‘Ribbon corset’ made from strips of cream silk satin ribbon connecting boning & lacings, metal fastenings. Made in England, ca 1895

Jacques was an avid collector of eighteenth century decorative arts and the opulence of that era was often reflected in his gowns. His designs used yards of lace, chiffon and sequins to build ethereal belle epoque dreams. Dress late @FIDMMuseum@twitter.com

Sometimes I love the backmark on cabinet cards more than the photograph. I especially love the details on the sun goddess and the palette on this one.
