Titles read: 'PEEPS THROUGH THE WINDOW OF THE WORLD'.
Various locations of events.
Several shots of a bath that can be used as a table, kitchen sink and washing tub with wringer, for use wherever space is limited. This is demonstrated by a young lady on a set dressed to look like a kitchen. High angle shot of the girl from behind, sitting in the bath and washing herself with a sponge - nude! (well, the top half is). Brief shot of the table of the bath being used as a shove ha'penny board. (Probably shot in Pathe Studio, London.)
In South Africa we see several shots of a man trying out a home-made diving outfit. A group of people wait on a jetty as the man goes below the water. One of the men uses a motorcar pump to feed air through the helmet tube. Our man comes back up to the surface and waves to show he is alright.
We then see several shots of rocket apparatus being set up on a river bank by inventor Captain Burton. The rocket is fired and shoots off into the sky, unravelling yards of string as it goes. (Location of events unknown - somewhere in England.)
Adrenaline seekers from the past have left an indelible mark on the Pathe archive. Some were so dangerous they even lost their lives. Here are 10 top daredevils.
Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
