  • This clip currently has no date range.

    However the title card references "Outline of History - this was first published in 1919.

    Secondly, the interviewer seen here is Frank Nelson Doubleday. He died in 1934.

    So a date range of 1919-34 can safely be applied to the clip. Given that the piece has sound, you may well be able to narrow that down even further - when did Pathe first use sound in its material?
