The Hornbacker-Murphy Fight - Thomas Edison Film (1894) - Kinetoscope Colorized

This short historic film was directed by William K.L. Dickson. The boxers are from the victorian era their names: Eugene Hornbacker & Murphy Their debut was in 1894, when the inventor Thomas Edison hired them to perform in a boxing match for a Kinetoscope short. This was Hornbacker’s only appearance in film as he starred in no more of Edison’s Kinetoscope subjects, and thus he remained a minor part in the silent cinema, both acting and none-acting. Story: A referee and five fans (including a waiter in his apron) look on as two young men box. The dark-haired, slightly taller boxer throws a right and the light-haired smaller one goes down; but he’s up before the referee starts counting. After the knockdown, the boxers mostly hit each other’s gloves. The fans, at least one of whom is sitting inside the ring, show no animation. They’re all men, dressed in a range of late 19th-century 👏 Support this Channel: ►► 👕 Merchandise: ►► 🎨 I restore & colorize your projects, PayPal Donations: LegendsofBoxingYT@ Thank you! ______________________________________________________________________ 🎥 Footage Credit: @timetravelhistoryincolor ______________________________________________________________________ 🔔 Join my Discord Server: ►►📜All My YouTube Channels 🥊My Main Channel “Legends of Boxing“: 🥊My Second Boxing Channel “Legends of Boxing in Color“: 📖My History Channel “Time Travel: Colorized Archive“: 🎥My Documentary Channel “Tales From The Past“: 🎥My German Channel/ Deutscher Kanal: 🌍Social ► #boxing #LegendsofBoxing #boxingclassics #Legend #boxinghistory #fight #knockout #boxingstories #athletestories #lifestories #pugilism #bareknuckle #fighting #boxinghistory #boxer #boxingclassics #boxinglegends #halloffame #boxinghalloffame #goldenera #boxinggoldenera #boxergram #boxerlife #boxerlifestyle #boxing #boxinghistory #pugilist #legendaryfighter #classics #Legendary #motivation #boxingmotivation #dempsey #boxers #UnseenHistories #VisualHistory #ColorGraph #Colorized #Colorization #ColorizedPhoto #History #HistoricalPhotos #Deoldify #AIcolorization #colorização #colourised #historia #colourise #colorization #restauracao #colourisedphoto #colorizedphoto #colouryourpast #colorizedhistory #colorizedhistoricalphotos
