Sallie Earrings

Our Sallie Earrings are based on the first motion picture...

As cited by the Guinness Book of Records, The Galloping Horse (1878) is the oldest surviving film. This 2.11 second short film by Eadweard Muybridge photographed Sallie the horse to answer the hotly debated topic “Are all four hooves ever off the ground at once?” The film proved that indeed they are, but more importantly, motion picture was born!
