Caption: "A screenshot from Le Voyage dans la lune (A Trip to the Moon) (1902)." (Slightly edited.)

An early moonshot: literally a shot at the Moon.

See the video: Le voyage dans la Lune, Georges Melies (1861--1938), 1902 | 8:24: Where scifi films began---from here to 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968) and Blade Runner (1982).

The film seems to be a loose combination of Jules Verne's (1828--1905) From the Earth to the Moon (1865), H. G. Wells' (1866--1946) The First Men in the Moon (1901), and the Folies Bergere (1869--).
