Glorious

From 1896, the Lumière silent film of the serpentine dance which was invented for the stage by Loïe Fuller. This dance was huge in France at the time and on stage the dancer's garments would achieve colour transformations with the use of projected stage lights. In this film each frame was hand tinted to get a similar affect on the original black and white film, this being one of the best examples of hand tinting for it's time.
