During the Pan-American Exhibition of 1901, the Edison company's film crews made a series of short movies of the exhibition that allowed them to try some new techniques, while also preserving the sights of the exhibition for later generations. This is one of the most interesting, for its successful use of some resourceful ideas.
Like several other movies in the series, this one consists of a circular panorama of the exhibition. But it adds an experiment that comes off quite well, in that the footage combines daytime and nighttime views, using a couple of then-experimental camera techniques to make it look continuous. The transition is not completely smooth, but it works well enough.
The nighttime footage in itself would make it worth seeing, with the pretty patterns of lights that still show up clearly on the print. The resourceful technique just adds one more reason to see it.
