Post by The Mark Twain House & Museum

You asked for it, we deliver! The full video of the only known footage of Mark Twain. 🎥 The iconic film is of Mark Twain walking in front of Stormfield, the name given to his house in Redding Connecticut, where he would later die. TFG Film & Tape has performed a digital restoration to the 1909 Edison film of Mark Twain. The image has been flipped left to right to correct the camera-to-subject orientation. It has had it’s speed corrected from the camera frame rate of the day. The detail has been enhanced dramatically bringing out visuals never before seen. The fluctuations in the exposure have been reduced markedly making the image much more pleasing to watch. #MarkTwain #Archives #ArchivalFootage #MarkTwainHouse #Redding #Connecticut #History #Literature #SamuelClemens #Stormfield
