This video was filmed on April 26, 1904 at the Westinghouse Electric Corporation in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. This is an excellent display of what women wore in the late 1800s. It is a part of a film series called "Westinghouse Works," which was taken between April 18 - May 16, 1904, and documents various Westinghouse manufacturing plants. They were made by G. W. "Billy" Bitzer of the American Mutoscope and Biograph Company and were exhibited at the Westinghouse Auditorium at the 1904 Saint Louis World's Fair.

This video was restored, colorized, speed-adjusted and optimized for maximum clarity.
