LGM Film Club, Part 287: Queen Victoria

With one old queen at the end of the line, I thought it would be interesting to look around at the oldest footage of British royals and here’s an 1898 film of Queen Victoria arriving at a garden party. This is actually pretty advanced filmmaking for that time. Even if all they did was have a steady camera, it’s still over 2 minutes of watching rich Brits probably get a good laugh over some starving Irish or something as they prepare for croquet and formality.
