Kind und Hund

Julius Neubronner (1852-1932), a chemist and inventor from Kronberg was one of the first people to film in the Rhine-Main region. In 1903 he acquired his first film camera, an Ernemann "Kino" for 17.5mm film with center perforation. With his camera Neubronner recorded historical events as well as the everyday life of his family. Furthermore, he also shot short sketches performed by himself and his family on a stage set-up in the garden of their home. In "Child and Dog" a small child is seen climbing first on a chair and then on a table. From there he plays with a dachshund. Shortly afterwards they have changed positions and the dog is now sitting on the table while the child puts a magazine on the table and pats the dog.
