From "The Birth of a Nation" (1914), by DW Griffith.

 In early 1910, director DW Griffith was sent by the Biograph Company to the west coast to take advantage of the Californian sunshine. Pictured here is a still from The Birth of a Nation, the first ever feature-length film, which was directed by DW Griffith in 1914. Actors costumed in the full regalia of the Ku Klux Klan chase down a white actor in blackface.
