About this work

Description

A compilation of three films sourced and probably created for lecture or teaching purposes. The first film is from an early silent film and features a mother and father sitting at a table with a small child; all are enthusiastically eating (the footage is possibly French/European in origin. The second film (which is very dark throughout) features various shots of worms (perhaps stomach parasites); there are intertitles but these are very dark (the following is discernible; Dr R. V. Talice, Cientifica Supervision; the film is possibly Spanish in origin). The final colour section is of a small boy with a doctor just out of shot performing the nose to eye test (used in neurological diagnosis).
