Early Fashions on Brighton Pier

Early Fashions on Brighton Pier is a 19th-century British silent actuality film, generally considered to be shot by Scottish film pioneer James Williamson. Previously, the film had been credited to George Albert Smith.[1][2] The more recent attribution to Williamson is based mainly on the identification of two of Williamson's sons in the pier crowd.[3] It is categorised in the Screen Archive South East as On the West Pier.[4]
