The welcoming arms steps, the mounting block below, the double-flue chimneys and windows tucked under the eaves, are all typical early 18th century features. Palmetto House was one of many buildings in Devonshire appropriated by the War Department.

CONTEXT: The Relief of Lucknow was produced by the Edison Company for the British market. Around 1911, Edison began to make films on specifically European themes to increase sales in Britain. The company also started sending actors and personnel to shoot films in outdoor locations, away from its New Jersey studio (Musser 1995, 49). Serle J.
