Back Cover: Edison's Greatest Marvel—The Vitascope. Lithograph copyrighted by Metropolitan Print Company, New York, 1896. Library of Congress, Prints and Photographs Division, LC-DIGppmsca-05943. https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2003689462/.

Thomas Edison's two advertisements for moving pictures center upon depictions of women, but student historians can investigate these illustrations to raise a variety of historical questions. 1896's "Greatest Marvel," the Vitascope, projects larger-than-life women dancing on screen while live musicians perform for a well-dressed audience. Less than two decades later, a pair of women posing beachfront in bathing suits overshadow descriptions of 1913's "Latest Edison," the new—and apparently improved—"Fire-Proof" Kinetoscope.
