New York Police Parade, June 1st, 1899 (1899)
The title pretty much tells you everything you need to know about this Edison picture. This clocks in at just under two minutes and shows the parade, which includes police walking down Union Street.
There's certainly nothing here that changed film history but it's still interesting to watch simply because it gives you a chance to view something that was actually happening in our history. These parades were held each year so it's pretty cool to get to see footage from one of them. It's also interesting to get to see the costumes that the police were wearing back in the day as well as what the people in the street watching were wearing and doing.
