I Always Think Of The Thurber Cartoon, "Touche"
Two fencers go through a pass at arms in this very short film from Georges Melies.
It's not much for the era, the sort of actuality that was popular during the first shows put on by Edison's people, or the folks from Lumiere. What i interesting is how this one has survived more than a century and a quarter. It's as a flip book, one of the earlier forms of animation that kids were still doing when I was in school: draw a series of pictures on the corner of a notebook, then riffle through them.
In many ways, it's how all those paper prints from the Library of Congress are being restored to film.
