Hi All,
A few months ago I sent a bulletin about the inventor of the moving film
image and referred to a book whose title I couldn't remember. Well this
morning whilst searching for something else in my library I found the
actual book.
The Author is Christopher Rawlence and the title of the book is "THE
MISSING REEL".
The main thrust of the book is that moving pictures were actually invented
by a gentleman named Augustin Le Prince. Le Prince was believed murdered
on the 16th September 1890 due to a patents/ownership dispute over the
invention of the technology. The book lays the blame for commissioning the
murder on Edison.
His first moving picture machine was actually a sixteen lens system. The
prototype of this projector which was built in 1887 and the later 1888
single lens system are both in the Science Museum London.
I will accompany this bulletin with three 7 plus files of photographs of
Mr. Le Prince, the sixteen lens projector and the single lens projector
