Edison's Projectoscope was a motion picture projector, and this poster promotes its "moving war pictures," the battle films that drew crowds to early film shows. Military subjects were among the most popular content at the time, and the Spanish-American War of 1898 gave many filmmakers recent events to re-create or film in staged scenes. The record gives no date, so the exact year and production behind these films are uncertain. The poster is still a useful look at how early movie exhibitors sold their novelty to the public, with the projector's name as the main attraction.
