The Cavalier's Dream (1898) watch online

The Cavalier's Dream is an 1898 American silent horror trick film. This Edison-Vitagraph short was not widely circulated in its time, but was preserved for the Library of Congress in 1958. In 2017, the Library scanned the 16mm film and the 2K file was published on the Internet Archive.

According to Charles Musser, the film was "likely shot (in September or October) by Albert E. Smith and J. Stuart Blackton in the Manhattan rooftop studio of their new American Vitagraph company, then an Edison licensee."

The work is sometimes mistakenly credited to director Edwin S. Porter. But Porter made his earliest films for the Edison studio in 1901.
