In this 1900 short film, we have a boy who takes his grandmother's reading class and looks through it at several objects. The filmmaker actually experimented a bit with that idea as we see everything from the boy's perspective, including several animals, but also Granny's eyes in a closeup which is a witty little inclusion as these eyes usually look through the glasses. The director of this 80-second short film is George Albert Smith again, one of Britain's first filmmakers, but this is not among my favorites of his films I have to say. It's a nice little play on camera perspectives, but story-wise it could have been better in my opinion. Not recommended.
