A Lightning Sketch (H.M. Queen Victoria)

1896 · Directed by Georges Méliès · documentary film, silent film

A Lightning Sketch (French: Dessinateur) was a series of four 1896 French short silent films directed by Georges Méliès and released by his Star Film Company. Each film showed an artist—very probably Méliès himself—drawing a caricature of a notable political figure in less than a minute.
