In 1894, Thomas Edison filmed sharpshooter Annie Oakley in his Black Maria studio. He was testing a new device called the kinetograph, an electrically powered camera capable of capturing motion.
De "Zwarte Maria" van Thomas Edison was de eerste Amerikaanse filmstudio. Om optimaal te profiteren van het zonlicht werd het gebouwd op een ronddraaiend platform.
De studio werd gebouwd in de winter van 1892-1893 op de terreinen van de Edisonlaboratoria in West Orange (New Jersey).
