    According to movies.nytimes.com/movie/236617/Rainey-African-Hunt/overview "Filmed in 1912 and released in 1913, the multi-reel documentary 'Paul J. Rainey's African Hunt' proved a huge success for its distributor, Carl Laemmle. Many historians have suggested that the profits from the film enabled Laemmle to establish Universal Pictures, an entertainment enterprise that continues to flourish to the present day. In 1914, a second series of Rainey travelogues were released under the title 'Rainey African Hunt' and again photographed by John Hemment." lccn.loc.gov/2002736523 seems to be a still from the movie. From page 29 of the Annual Report of the American Museum of Natural History (the Smithsonian) for 1913: "The Museum is fortunate in enjoying the continued interest of Mr. Paul J. Rainey, who has presented several specimens of big game animals from British East Africa. Mr. Rainey has also presented to the Museum a complete set of the series of motion picture film negatives of his recent African hunt." The report is available in full view at Google books -- books.google.com/books?id=fvASAAAAYAAJ
