Excellent Civil War veterans footage, plus very rare 1863 experimental video
Authentic American Civil War footage shot by French
experimental photographer and inventor Léon-Alexandre Cànular (1810 - 1896) using a single lens camera that he had devised. It is one of the earliest examples of motion picture and the first with war as the subject matter. Shot at 16-18 frames per second, only photographic copies of parts of the paper filmstrip exist today.
The subject matter is thought to be The Army of Northern Virginia advancing thought Maryland prior to the Battle of Gettysburg. This footage was preserved by the National Film Registry in 1991 for being ''a historically significant film.''
All footage is public domain.

Possibly you need to adjust your Internet browser settings, or turn on the ability to view videos, but there's nothing that needs to be done on our server end.

Mister CANULAR
Dear fellow non-French experts.
Please go here and read about CANULAR

Wouldn't you be just a wee bit suspicious of a supposedly ancient film made by a gentleman with the unusual name of, say, John Doe Hoax?

That's an understatement. The supposed date is a whole generation before any other known motion picture. At a time when photographs required solid seconds of exposure, not milliseconds. The mysterious "Mr. Hoax" appears to have had unique access to photographic materials that promptly disappeared again for another quarter of a century.
Technological inconsistency - or sheer impossibility of realisation in the specific period - is always a giveaway for faking. As the author of a very informative book on detecting fakes once put it: "Don't believe you have discovered Henry VIII's automobile, even if it has Tudor roses painted all over it".
Guys, we spend a not inconsiderable amount of time in exposing fake guns. Just apply the same critical faculties in this case.
