Ice Skating in Central Park

Ice Skating in Central Park, N.Y. (1904) 

This Edison film clocks in at just around fifty seconds and the title itself is a major spoiler as it gives away everything that happens. The camera appears to be set up off the ice and it captures people skating around. These early films didn&apos;t contain any sort of plot and the majority of them just captured various life moments. These could be walking to work, going to a drug store or ice skating in Central Park. It&apos;s interesting to watch these films today because they at least give you an idea of what it was like in 1904. It&apos;s pretty cool getting to see the type of clothing people were wearing and of course just seeing what Central Park looked like. There&apos;s obviously nothing ground-breaking here but it&apos;s still interesting to watch.
