EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage American advertising poster from 1913 captures the essence of early moving pictures and the excitement they brought to audiences. Titled "AD: MOVING PICTURE, 1913" this lithograph print showcases a scene from the Pastime Moving Picture Show on Thomas Edison's kinetoscope. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the lithograph draw viewers into a world where women in bathing suits are at the forefront of entertainment. Bathing beauties, as they were called back then, were popular subjects in early cinema, often captivating audiences with their charm and elegance. The text on the poster is minimal but effective, simply stating "Pastime Moving Picture Show" alongside an image of Thomas Edison's name. This suggests that his involvement in this new form of entertainment was enough to attract crowds to these shows. As we gaze upon this historical piece, we can't help but appreciate how far technology has come since then. From grainy black-and-white films shown on kinetoscopes to today's high-definition movies projected onto massive screens, it is fascinating to see how our love for moving pictures has evolved over time. This Granger Art on Demand print allows us to travel back in time and experience a glimpse of what captivated audiences more than a century ago – bathing beauties dancing across screens in their stylish swimsuits. It serves as a reminder that even though times change, our fascination with visual storytelling remains timeless.
