The Little Match Girl (1902)

I wanted to put this up yesterday but I got distracted and forgot, so here is Silent Film Sunday a day late.  This version of the Hans Christian Anderson's The Little Match Girl was made by James Williamson in 1902 and called The Little Match Seller.  Williamson was an important early film maker whose use of continuous action shots helped establish story telling structure for film.
