Restored Posters from the Early Days of Movie Making. The Lost and Forgotten are Lost No More.
History has not been kind to early movies. From American’s entry into the commercial movie business in 1893, thousands and thousands of movies were made. It is thought that more than 90% of those made before 1950 are lost never to be seen again.
Lost Movies Made by Forgotten Studios Starring Unknown Players. The first wave of movie studios, like Essanay, Selig, Lubin, Edison, Vitagraph, and Biograph flourished. Hundreds of smaller studios and independent movie makers made thousands of movies. Most of them have vanished, never to be seen again. Forgotten stars, forgotten movies, forgotten studios.
