This week, we skate over Alexander Black's 1894 45-minute magic lantern slide film 'Miss Jerry' (1894) as it has been lost to sands of time.

IMDb title #0000009: 'Miss Jerry' (1894, Alexander Black)
IMDb title #0000010: 'Workers Leaving The Lumière Factory in Lyon' (1895, Louis Lumière)

Shot on 35mm at a rate of 16 frames per second, 'Workers Leaving The Lumière Factory in Lyon' is widely considered the first real motion picture made, although that record has numerous claimants.

Three versions of this film were shot, all in different seasons of the year. Here we have all three versions presented in succession of this landmark film.
