The Brinton Collection is a collection of early cinematography that was used by William Franklin Brinton (1857–1919) for his traveling show in the Midwestern United States. It was preserved by history teacher, Michael Zahs, in a barn in Ainsworth, Iowa. The collection includes works by Georges Méliès that were thought to have been lost: The Wonderful Rose-Tree and The Triple-Headed Lady. The collection's history was recounted in a film documentary, Saving Brinton, in 2017.[1]
