Welter's Amusement Company Birth Of A Nation Silent Film D W Griffith Real Photo Postcard

D.W. Griffith's The Birth of a Nation, released in 1915, stands as a seminal yet profoundly controversial work in American cinema. Hailed for its technical innovations in filmmaking, it simultaneously drew widespread condemnation for its overt racism, historical inaccuracies, and glorification of the Ku Klux Klan. Advertised alongside it is Griffith's 1920 melodramatic hit, Way Down East, known for its dramatic climax and demonstrating his continued influence in the silent film era.
