A bit of history. This is a recently discovered film made sometime before March 1901 in London, and it depicts the death of the crossing-sweeper Jo (not "Joe" as in the official title of the film) from the novel Bleak House. To give some idea of how old this film is, Queen Victoria, monarch of Britain for most of the 1800s, had died in January 1901.
