The History of The Discovery of Cinematography begins several millennia in the past, noting the invention of the Layard lens from 721 BC, and works step by step through each technological and social achievement leading to the modern cinematography of Maximillian Skladanowsky’s Bioscop, Birt Acres’ Kinetic Lantern, Auguste and Louis Lumière’s Cinemtographe, and Robert William Paul’s early projecting machine, the Theatograph.
This epic story of “pre-cinema history” is a fantastic tribute to the men and women, and in some cases entire extinct civilizations, that contributed to the journey from cave art to film art. The biographies and articles are richly illustrated with photographs, drawings and film frames, the pre-history is chronicled in fifteen chapters organized by time period. It is a story rarely so well told and a site that is nearly unique.
