EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph takes us back to the grandeur of the Theater at the National Export Exposition in Philadelphia, 1899. The image, captured by an anonymous American photographer from the 19th century, showcases a remarkable blend of neoclassical architecture and cutting-edge technology. The theater's entrance stands as a beacon of entertainment, drawing visitors with its impressive Ionic columns and ornate pediment. As we gaze upon this historic cinema facade, we can almost imagine the excitement that filled the air during this era of moving pictures. The National Export Exposition was a significant event in American history, showcasing advancements in various industries. Within this pavilion dedicated to motion pictures, Lubin Manufacturing Company took center stage with their innovative cineograph technology. This pioneering company played a crucial role in shaping early cinema and bringing movies to audiences across America. As we delve into this mesmerizing snapshot frozen in time, it serves as a reminder of how far our love for film has come. From humble beginnings rooted in camera obscura experiments to today's state-of-the-art cinemas, this photograph encapsulates both nostalgia for the gilded age and admiration for human ingenuity. Preserved within the archives of Free Library of Philadelphia's collection, this image offers us an invaluable glimpse into America's cinematic past – an era when theaters like these were not just places for entertainment but also symbols of progress and wonderment.
