It's a real pleasure being able to embed this little known Melies film. It was found in an antique trunk purchased by Lobster Films from an antique dealer (I believe, in Paris) that turned out to be full of turn of the century films! I love stories like this!! It is part of film history that really fascinates me. Over the last 15 years or so, several famously lost films, like Richard III from 1912 have been found in similar circumstances (if memory serves, in South Africa).
