The contents of A History of Pre-Cinema Volume 1 (and its companion
volumes 2 and 3) cover the optical devices used for entertainment
and instruction that proliferated before the introduction of
cinema. To view pre-cinema devices merely as steps towards the
cinema, however, would be a very narrow perspective. They were -
and in some cases still are - self-contained media with their own
peculiarities, differences, potential and limitations. This volume
concentrates on items published before the spread of the cinema and
later references to devices of that period. Having easy access to
original texts in facsimile is a useful resource for researchers.
Volume 1 is divided into the following sections: The camera
obscura; Photography; Stereoscopy; Moving photographs;
Chronophotography; Optical, philosophical toys.
