Panorama Water Front and Brooklyn Bridge from East River (1903)

Synopsis

It seems Edison made a ton of these panorama films back in '03. They probably rented a boat for a couple of days, packed sandwiches and beer and floated around New York with the camera pointed at buildings. As panoramas go this one isn't as bad as some - Panorama of Riker's Island for example. What a stinker that was - Lord only knows what they were thinking of there.
