Volume 1 of A History of Early Film begins with the period of
technical invention. The story of Edison's peepshow Kinetoscope,
set up in arcades from April 1894, is told by W. K. L. Dickson.
'Lantern Projection of Moving Objects' heralds the arival of the
first screenings in Britain, arranged by Auguste and Louis
Lumière, Robert Paul and Birt Acres, announcing the new medium as
a progressive development of optical moving-image toys, magic
lantern projection and the Kinetoscope. It includes an evocative
selection of advertisements for the earliest films and
cinematographic apparatus of 1896-7. The last part of the volume
covers 1901-6 as the medium of cinema developed.
