WELCOME TO THIS HISTORY.
This is not a study of early cinema.
This is a study of before cinema. A serious look at what led up to cinema, before cinema arrived. It’s a study of the people, the devices and the natural phenomenon that was discovered and then fashioned into the working machines, devices, and contraptions that first allowed people to go to the movies.
And, it includes a multitude of topics closely related to the science of moving pictures, leading to the technology that was fueled by a strong desire to see movement within art.
This is also, not a look at what year cinema arrived.
That decision has already been decided by many experts throughout the world. However, that decision I am leaving up to you my reader, after going through this chronologically-listed, and illustrated book.
Come and be surprised at who, where, when and how the movies truly first began.
I’m convinced your mind will be changed.
Mine was.
Before beginning, learn something About me.
Or, let me Introduce you to my work.
Otherwise, start here at the beginning, Chapter One.
Thank you, and enjoy.
Paul
