Collapsing Bed Scene

A mysterious fragment of Victorian footage.

Comedy 1897 Silent

Overview

This little fragment is clearly copyrighted, but little other information is available. The PF – of French company Pathé Frères – is clearly visible on the scenery, but we know precious little else about this piece of film. Is the bed supposed to collapse? Is it an outtake or best take?
